  • The article originally published on pages 179 - 183 of the 2016 Astronomy in Focus Volume 11, Issue A29A, purportedly by Wesley and Sheshadri, was mistakenly included in the issue and should not have been published. During the compilation of the issue, the first page of Wesley and Sheshadri's legitimate article (Wesley & Sheshadri 2016) was combined with other pages from a wholly unrelated LaTeX file, and published in error. The content of this pseudo-article makes no sense, and should not be used or cited. Therefore, the pages of this pseudo-article have been removed from the online version of the issue and replaced with blank pages watermarked as ‘WITHDRAWN’. We have decided to remove the article completely to avoid confusion with the correct article by Wesley and Sheshadri, who were not involved in the creation of this error.

    We apologise to the authors Wesley and Sheshadri, and to readers for this mistake.

  • Older adult abuse (OAA), defined as abuse, neglect, or mistreatment of persons aged 65 years or older, is a globally pervasive concern, with severe consequences for its victims. While internationally reported rates of OAA are in the range of 5–20% per annum, New Zealand lacks the necessary data to quantify the issue. However, with a growing aging population, an increase in the prevalence of OAA is predicted. We investigated the extent of OAA in New Zealand, utilizing the mandatory interRAI-HC (International Resident Assessment Instrument-home care assessment) dataset, which included 18,884 interviewees from the Southern District Health Board between 2013 and 2019. Findings confirmed our hypothesis that the interRAI assessment is neither sufficiently sensitive nor specific capturing only 3% from a population of increased frailty and thus at higher risk of abuse. We characterized OAA victims as relatively younger males, depressed, and with impaired decision-making capacity. If the interRAIs were to serve as a preliminary screening tool for OAA in New Zealand, it would be germane to implement changes to improve its detection rate. Further studies are urgently called for to test changes in the interRAI that will aid in identifying often missed cases of OAA better and thus offer protection to this vulnerable population.
