“This spectrum tool was derived
from practice and developed out of
the conviction that complex
problems require comprehensive
solutions.”Larry Cohen and Susan Swift, 1999
in Injury PreventionRetrieved from http://www.preventioninstitute.org on October 13, 2010. Model originally developed by Larry Cohen director of the Contra Costa Health Services Prevention Program, the Spectrum is based on the work of Dr. Marshall Swift in treating developmental disabilities. It has been used nationally in prevention initiatives targeting traffic safety, violence prevention, injury prevention, nutrition, and fitness

• 1989 - First World Conference on Accident and Injury Prevention, held in Stockholm, Sweden
• No single approach to injury prevention and safety promotion can be as effective as a collaboration among community organizations and community members
▫ The leading role is played by the community itself, an entity that is larger than any of its parts.
▫ “All human beings have a right to health and safety”

Public Health Problem: Elder Abuse• Elder Abuse is under reported. 1 in 14 elder abuse cases are reported to
authorities.
• Elders who experienced even modest abuse, had a 300% higher risk of death compared to those who had not been abused.
• ~ 50% of people with dementia experience some kind of abuse.
• The fiscal impact: ▫direct medical costs from violent injuries > $5.3 billion ▫financial loss by victims of financial exploitation > $2.9 billion

• Those who fall are 2-3 times more likely to fall again
• Each year, over 2 million older adults are treated in emergency departments for nonfatal fall injuries, with about 30% requiring hospitalization
• The annual cost of injuries from falls in those ≥65 is estimated at $30 billionSource: CDC, Retrieved at http://www.cdc.gov/homeandrecreationalsafety/falls/adultfalls.html
