This study estimates the proportion of older adults who screened positive for depressive symptoms among those self-reporting elder abuse and examines whether individual characteristics and\/or abusive experience aspects are associated with self-reported depressive symptoms. Participants were 510 older adults self-reporting experiences of abuse in family setting enrolled in the cross-sectional victims\u2019 survey of the Aging and Violence Study. Depressive symptoms were assessed through the abbreviated version of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-5). Poisson regression was used to determine the prevalence ratio (PR) of screening depressive symptoms according to individual and abusive experience covariates: sex, age group, cohabitation, perceived social support, chronic diseases, functional status, violence type, perpetrator, and number of conducts. Women (PR = 1.18, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [1.04, 1.35]) individuals perceiving low social support level (PR = 1.36, 95% CI = [1.16, 1.60]) and with long-term illness (PR = 1.17, 95% CI = [1.02, 1.33]) were found to be associated with increased risk for screening depressive symptoms. In regard to abusive experience, only the number of abusive conducts increased the PR (PR = 1.07, 95% CI = [1.05, 1.09]). Routine screening for elder abuse should include psychological well-being assessment. Interventions toward risk alleviation for both mental health problems and elder abuse should target women perceiving low social support level and with long-term illness. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0886260517732346","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,20]],"date-time":"2017-09-20T09:47:36Z","timestamp":1505900856000},"page":"NP115-NP134","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Exploring the Correlates to Depression in Elder Abuse Victims: Abusive Experience or Individual Characteristics?"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Ana Jo\u00e3o","family":"Santos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Health Institute Doutor Ricardo Jorge, Lisboa, Portugal"},{"name":"University of Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Baltazar","family":"Nunes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Health Institute Doutor Ricardo Jorge, Lisboa, Portugal"},{"name":"NOVA University of Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Irina","family":"Kislaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Health Institute Doutor Ricardo Jorge, Lisboa, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Ana Paula","family":"Gil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NOVA University of Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Oscar","family":"Ribeiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"University of Aveiro, Portugal"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0886260517732346","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.2009.163089"},{"key":"bibr2-0886260517732346","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"505","DOI":"10.20344\/amp.4253","volume":"26","author":"Aguiar P.","year":"2013","journal-title":"Acta Medica Portuguesa"},{"key":"bibr3-0886260517732346","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1099-1166(199910)14:10<858::AID-GPS35>3.0.CO;2-8"},{"key":"bibr4-0886260517732346","volume-title":"Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders","author":"American Psychiatric Association","year":"1994","edition":"4"},{"key":"bibr5-0886260517732346","unstructured":"Beach S.
