David Burnes, PhD

Professor, Canada Research Chair
University of Toronto
Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Dr. Burnes is a Professor at the University of Toronto. He holds a Canada Research Chair on Older Adult Mistreatment Prevention. Dr. Burnes completed a PhD at the Columbia University School of Social, concentrating in gerontology and advanced practice. Dr. Burnes’ program of research focuses on elder mistreatment, including the development of basic knowledge (risk factors, prevalence, severity) and the design, evaluation, and measurement of interventions to prevent and respond to elder mistreatment. He advises major international organizations on elder mistreatment, such as the World Health Organization, as well as federal and regional governments in Canada and the United States. Dr. Burnes also works with non-profit organizations, such as state-level adult protective services programs, on the development, implementation and measurement of elder mistreatment response and prevention programs. Dr. Burnes and colleagues developed RISE, an evidence-based, community-based elder mistreatment response program that works in partnership with other systems to respond to cases involving older adults who are at risk of or experiencing elder mistreatment or self-neglect. His interest in elder mistreatment stems from both family experience and clinical practice with older adults.
