Notes:	"An International Journal of Quality of Life Aspects of Treatment, Care and Rehabilitation" "Official Journal of the International Society of Quality of Life Research" Presents the methodology and results of a study aimed at testing the effectiveness of the ‘Vulnerability to Abuse Screening Scale’ (VASS) in predicting health outcomes amongst women at risk of elder abuse. Findings suggest the while the VASS has predictive utility, it may be more effective as a screening tool. The need for further research into the impact of perceived abuse on the health and well-being of older women is highlighted and the development of a ‘gold standard’ measure that identifies various forms of abuse is advocated.
