Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Tele-PROTECT (Effectiveness Aim, Abuse Impact Aim)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
This group of participants will receive the Tele-PROTECT intervention, a behavioral intervention for depressed elder abuse (EA) victims designed to work in synergy with EA resolution services that provide safety planning, support services, and links to legal services.
Group II: Stakeholder Groups (Implementation Aim)Active Control1 Intervention
To address the Implementation Aim of the study, investigators will conduct qualitative data via surveys, interviews, and focus groups. Qualitative data from NAPSA surveys, interviews, and focus groups will be analyzed to identify barriers and facilitators to the implementation of Tele-PROTECT in elder abuse agencies nation-wide using a mixed methods design with multiple stakeholder groups (e.g., EA directors, staff) in collaboration with the National Adult Protective Services Association (NAPSA).
Group III: Depression Education (DepEd) (Effectiveness Aim, Abuse Impact Aim)Active Control1 Intervention
This group of participants will receive the Depression Education intervention, an intervention designed with active therapeutic ingredients (education, support, empathy) and designed to be what a good clinician providing education would do with an individual with depression.
