## Abstract

In this supplement, we propose to conduct 50 qualitative interviews with adult participants of a
longitudinal study on lifecourse patterns of abuse and elder mistreatment. These 60-minute
interviews, conducted by telephone or videoconference, will consist of a short structured survey,
followed by a series of open-ended questions pertaining to COVID-19 pandemic. We are
particularly interested in the effects of state-specific orders of social distancing and self-isolation
related to the pandemic on adult child-older parent relationships, particularly when participants
are providing support and care for vulnerable older adults, and the mental health, substance
use, and resilience of adult children. Research questions broaden the data collection on our
parent project to capture dimensions unique to the pandemic but objectives remain within the
original scope of the parent study. The specific aims for this application are to (1) identify the
unique challenges faced by adult children of formerly abusive parents within the context of
COVID-19 shelter-in-place orders and social distancing mandates and (2) discern personal
behaviors and social factors associated with the pandemic that influence resilience in adults
who were abused. The research is guided by a life course perspective, which provides a
foundation from which to assess responses to this major life stressor in relationship to the
intergenerational transmission of violence.
