Overview
The goal of the program is to decrease the number and severity of falls experienced by people over 60 years of age through multi-component interventions whose success could be measured. Government and non-government organizations, including the Department of Housing and local councils, undertook fall prevention activities. For example, one local council underwent safety audits of businesses and provided proprietors with a copy of a safety assessment and a document showing how falls safety could be improved. Program results indicate a 22% lower incidence of self-reported falls and 20% lower fall-related hospitalization rate in the intervention area as compared to the control area.
