SUMMARY:January 2026 Scam Forum
DESCRIPTION:Registration Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_5V6mJGuuRVa6rhGAC9y0vg\nDate & Time: January 22\, 2026 at 12:30 PM EST\n\nTitle: \nFinancial Decision Making in Older Age: A Neuropsychology Perspective\n\nDescription: \nThere are multiple reasons why certain older adults may become poorer decision makers and consequently more vulnerable to scam\, fraud\, and financial exploitation. This presentation will provide an overview of our research program to date focused on financial decision making in older age\, which spans neuroimaging\, behavioral economics\, cognitive neuroscience\, and other empirical approaches.\n\nSpeaker:\nDuke Han\, PhD\, is a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist and tenured Professor of Psychology\, Family Medicine\, Neurology\, and Gerontology at the University of Southern California. His research focuses on cognition and decision making in aging\, with particular attention to factors that increase vulnerability to financial exploitation and dementia-related risk.\nDr. Han directs an NIH-funded research program integrating neuroimaging\, cognitive neuroscience\, and behavioral economics\, and holds leadership roles with the USC Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center and several national and international research initiatives. He is Editor-in-Chief of The Journals of Gerontology: Psychological Sciences and a recipient of the prestigious Paul B. Beeson Career Development Award from the National Institute on Aging.\n\nThis video will be recorded and uploaded to our website.

SUMMARY:R2P Webinar - From Research to Action: Outcomes from Colorado’s Alternative Response Pilot for Tailored APS Intervention
DESCRIPTION:Senate Bill (SB) 21-118 authorized an Alternative Response (AR) pilot within the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS)\, Adult Protective Services (APS). This pilot creates a dual-track model for tailoring APS response to risk level. Allegations of low-risk mistreatment and self-neglect are tracked to AR and higher-risk allegations are tracked to Traditional Response. The Colorado Evaluation and Action Lab at the University of Denver serves as the independent evaluator for the legislatively required outcomes study. The goal of the study was to understand the effectiveness of AR and inform the future of this practice model. This webinar will review the evidence building approach for AR and present select reach\, implementation\, and impact outcomes for a 2-year study period (January 2023 through December 2024). Participants will discuss ways to translate AR pilot learnings into implementation and policy action in their locale\, to advance best practices in APS through a data-informed lens. \nCourtney L. Everson\, PhD\, is the Senior Project Director of the Colorado Evaluation and Action Lab at the University of Denver.
