Arabic-speaking Older Immigrants' Views on Risk Factors for Elder Abuse

Elder abuse is a central concern in Canada's aging population. The qualitative findings from our mixed methods study on elder abuse in Toronto's Arabic -speaking immigrant communities identified key risk factors that make their older adults vulnerable to elder abuse. These factors occur at the individual (e.g., language barrier), community (e.g., discrimination), and societal (e.g., lack of access to employment) levels. The results can inform strategies to mitigate elder abuse in Arabic-speaking communities.
