To evaluate the effectiveness of an older adult falls-prevention program and describe compliance with the program.
The No More Falls! program was evaluated by comparing outcomes of program participants and nonparticipants from the same health care system and by comparing outcomes in pre- and postintervention periods.
Program participants were 20% less likely to fall than nonparticipants. Falls during the year after program participation decreased 53%, compared with a 21% decline among nonparticipants. Compliance was positively associated with program effectiveness.
These findings suggest that the No More Falls! program was successful in reducing falls among older adults.
评估一项老年人跌倒预防项目的有效性，并描述该项目的依从性。
通过比较来自同一医疗保健系统的项目参与者和非参与者的结果，以及比较干预前和干预后的结果，对“不再跌倒！”项目进行评估。
项目参与者跌倒的可能性比非参与者低20%。参与项目后的一年内，跌倒发生率下降了53%，而非参与者仅下降了21%。依从性与项目有效性呈正相关。
这些结果表明“不再跌倒！”项目在减少老年人跌倒方面取得了成功。
