Exact excerpt

The victim-survivor group ... is not necessarily representative of the average victim-survivor, especially if disclosure is associated with experiencing significant financial distress. ... Our methodological approach does not allow us to establish causality between financial abuse and observed outcomes. ... Owing to data availability restrictions, our analysis only looks at a maximum 7-year window and draws on data from one bank.
