Evaluating the effectiveness of evidence-based falls prevention programs: a study on participant risk levels and program congruency

All eight EBFPPs enrolled participants across all three fall-risk levels with most programs being at least somewhat congruent with the fall-risk program continuum recommendations. More research is needed to better understand inconsistencies between risk-levels of program, target risk-levels, and actual participant risk-level, to guide either adaptations in the risk-level classification or program modifications to accommodate different risk-levels.

Abstract

All eight EBFPPs enrolled participants across all three fall-risk levels with most programs being at least somewhat congruent with the fall-risk program continuum recommendations. More research is needed to better understand inconsistencies between risk-levels of program, target risk-levels, and actual participant risk-level, to guide either adaptations in the risk-level classification or program modifications to accommodate different risk-levels.
