National Survey on Abuse of the Elderly in Canada
Abstract
The study sought to identify, for the first time in Canada at a national level, the prevalence and circumstances of abuse of the elderly in Canada. Four major categories of abuse were defined and studied: material abuse, chronic verbal aggression, physical violence, and neglect. Data were collected through a modified random-sample telephone survey of 2,008 elderly persons living in private dwellings. The study found that about 40 persons per 1,000 elderly population recently experienced some serious form of maltreatment in their own home, at the hands of a partner, relative, or significant others.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
