• Evaluation of Wraparound Intervention Service to Elder Abuse Victims (.pdf)
  The all-embracing service delivery model, including multi-disciplinary, co-located services, must be analyzed and evaluated in order to determine replication options in rural, suburban, and urban communities across California.

• Caregivers of Frail Native American Elders in San Diego (.pdf)
  This study is designed to investigate how the burden experienced by American Indian primary caregivers on reservation and in urban settings is mitigated by factors relating to their resilience. Factors that contribute to a caregiver's resilience, as measured in this study, can be identified and can lead to policy aimed at buttressing caregiver support networks.
