- Culturally Diverse Elders and Their Families: Examining the Need for Culturally Competent Services
Demographic shifts among the aging population of the United States call for a re-examination of our understanding of the needs of these individuals especially when race, ethnicity, family composition, and country of origin are considered in the discourse.

As much of our population ages, families across cultures and classes will increasingly need to be involved with specialized service providers. An ecological approach to this issue posits that elders, their families, and communities are closely intertwined, and need to be examined in relationship to one another...

- More Than Wife Abuse That has Gone Old: A Conceptual Model for Violence Against the Aged in Canada and the Us

The under-reporting of VAA is a major problem, although both Canadian and USA studies show that the consequences of this crime are very serious. Moreover, although the rates may be stable (5-10%), the numbers are rising due to the aging of the Canadian and USA populations. In this paper, I introduce an integrated conceptual model for predicting VAA, which goes beyond intimate partner violence. The model also suggests that struggles against VAA must simultaneously occur at the personal, social and structural dimensions.
