AB  - OBJECTIVES: Research has examined the relationships between positive social 
      support (PSS) and elder mistreatment (EM) but less is known regarding the 
      negative aspect of social support (NSS), especially among minority groups in the 
      United States. This study aimed to investigate the relationships between PSS/NSS 
      from different sources and EM among US Chinese older adults. DESIGN: 
      Population-based cross-sectional study. SETTING: Greater Chicago, IL, area. 
      PARTICIPANTS: A representative sample of Chinese older adults aged 60 years or 
      older (N = 3157) from the Population Study of ChINese Elderly in Chicago in 2011 
      to 2013. MEASUREMENTS: We applied a 10-item widely used instrument to assess EM. 
      PSS and NSS from spouse/family members/friends were measured by a 12-item scale. 
      Multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the 
      relationships. RESULTS: After adjusting for confounders, higher levels of overall 
      PSS from all three sources, including spouse, family members, and friends (odds 
      ratio [OR] = 0.88 [95% confidence interval CI = 0.85-0.91]), were associated 
      with lower risk of EM. But participants with a higher level of overall NSS from 
      all three sources (OR = 1.51 [95% CI = 1.41-1.61]) were more likely to experience 
      EM. The results on the relationships between PSS from spouse (OR = 0.70 [95% CI = 
      0.64-0.76]), PSS from family members (OR = 0.73 [95% CI = 0.68-0.79]), and EM 
      were similar to overall PSS. But PSS from friends had a nonsignificant 
      association with EM. Greater levels of NSS from spouse (OR = 1.84 [95% CI = 
      1.64-2.07]), family members (OR = 2.36 [95% CI = 2.03-2.75]), and friends (OR = 
      1.69 [95% CI = 1.32-2.17]) were associated with increased risks of EM. 
      CONCLUSION: Higher levels of SS were not always associated with lower risks of EM 
      among US Chinese older adults. NSS might have counter effects. Future qualitative 
      or longitudinal research needs to explore detailed cultural explanations and 
      casual relationships between SS and EM. J Am Geriatr Soc 67:S499-S505, 2019.
