The rapid growth of FE and defrauding of older people impels the creation and evaluation of intervention and prevention strategies. The Successful Aging thru Financial Empowerment (SAFE) program was created in 2017 to provide older adults education, support and assistance to address FE. The SAFE program currently focuses on providing no cost financial coaching/economic advocacy services to older adult victims of FE and the administration of FE prevention intervention. This presentation will cover two recent studies on SAFE program services and outcomes: (1) One study examined the financial coaching/economic advocacy intervention. Program records and baseline and follow-up assessments of 115 SAFE clients were used to detail program dynamicsand investigate participant outcomes. Participants reported high levels of program satisfaction and significantly less stress at the six-month follow-up. These findings demonstrate empowerment-centered financial coaching interventions can successfully address FE in older adult populations. (2) The second is a pilot study examining the effect and acceptability of the newly developed FE prevention program. Intake and follow up assessment data of the first 45 participants enrolled was analyzed.","cbCaillx3Ig0zmc3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaillx3Ig0zmc3","pdf",230686,"English","# SAFE program background\n# Study 1: financial coaching/economic advocacy intervention\n## Outcomes and satisfaction\n# Study 2: FE prevention pilot program\n## Effect and acceptability","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the SAFE program address?\",\"answer\":\"SAFE targets financial exploitation of older adults, where estimates indicate 5%–11% are victimized yearly.\"},{\"question\":\"What services does SAFE provide?\",\"answer\":\"SAFE offers no-cost financial coaching and economic advocacy services, along with support and assistance for older adult victims, and administers FE prevention interventions.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the studies find about program impact?\",\"answer\":\"Findings indicate high satisfaction, significantly less stress at six-month follow-up, and acceptability with a positive effect in reducing vulnerability to financial exploitation.\"}]","SUCCESSFUL AGING THRU FINANCIAL EMPOWERMENT (SAFE) | PDF",1790630450]
