সারসংক্ষেপ	The Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) is the most widely used self-report measure of caregiver burden — the physical, emotional, social, and financial strain experienced by people who care for an impaired older relative, most often someone with dementia. Originating in Steven Zarit, Karen Reever, and Julie Bach-Peterson's 1980 study of relatives of impaired elderly, the instrument asks caregivers to rate how often they feel a series of burdens, such as feeling that caregiving harms their health, social life, or finances, or that they could do a better job. The standard version has 22 items rated 0 (never) to 4 (nearly always), summing to a 0–88 total in which higher scores mean greater burden. Short forms (12-item) and a 4-item screen exist for quick assessment. The ZBI is a cornerstone of family-gerontology and dementia-care research and a routine outcome in caregiver-support interventions.	The Elder Abuse Suspicion Index (EASI) is a brief, six-item tool designed to help physicians and other clinicians raise — and act on — a suspicion of elder mistreatment among cognitively intact, community-dwelling older adults. Developed by Mark Yaffe and colleagues at McGill University and validated in a 2008 study, it consists of five questions asked of the patient (covering neglect and physical, psychological, financial, and sexual abuse) plus a sixth item recording the clinician's own observations. It takes under two minutes to administer. The EASI does not diagnose abuse; rather, a 'yes' on any of questions 2 through 6 signals that mistreatment may be present and that referral to social services, adult protective services, or further evaluation is warranted. It is one of the most widely used elder-abuse case-finding instruments in primary care.
