Over the past two decades, the National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA) has commissioned several studies to provide some quantification of the prevalence of elder abuse in the United States. The 2000 Survey of State Adult Protective Services collected data on both the elderly and younger adults with disabilities, although previous NCEA studies have examined abuse of older adults only. The 2000 Survey stands out from previous NCEA studies in its inclusion of younger, vulnerable adults.
