Falls Prevention Studies and Reports

Numerous studies have documented the efficacy of evidence-based falls prevention programs in reducing falls and falls risk, as well as their potential for cost savings and positive return on investment.

A study that reviewed five years of data from the national falls prevention data repository concluded that participation in evidence-based falls prevention programs resulted in improved confidence, decreased fear of falling, and fewer reports of falls and injurious falls among participants. Studies show that group exercise — the format used by evidence-based falls prevention programs — reduces loneliness and social isolation in seniors.

Here are examples of research and presentations conducted using data from the national falls prevention database to show the effectiveness of evidence-based falls prevention programs.
