Abstract: The Elder Justice Act specifically authorizes the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to develop and disseminate information on best practices in adult protective services, provide training for adult protective services, and provide technical assistance to states and others that provide or fund the provision of adult protective services. The Inventory of State Adult Protective Services Practices and Service Innovations: APS Practice Survey is a new data collection that will address these requirements by collecting data from APS agencies in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. Territories about the practice variations in APS programs for older adults and adults, obstacles to meeting policy mandates, and practice innovations and model programs that address such barriers and community-identified needs.
