Features of effective hospital fall prevention trials: an intervention component analysis
Tailored fall prevention approaches and involving patient and family in fall prevention through increasing awareness, in addition to integration with the local intervention setting, appear to play a role in impacting the effectiveness of fall prevention interventions. These theories should be considered in the design of future fall prevention programs and trials and require further evaluation in high quality trials.
