Read and download the project’s scoping review, scoping review executive summary, and infographics.

Intimate partner and family violence disproportionately affect women but these experiences are often understudied among older populations.

This scoping review aimed to: synthesize current knowledge about the utility and suitability of screening and intervention tools for older women (55+) experiencing intimate partner or family violence; and identify and fill existing policy, practice, and research gaps with regard to current screening and intervention tools.

The Wildflower Project, a CNPEA Project
