► ► ►New Study Confirms Outcomes of an Evidence-Based Falls Prevention Program
Researchers, with support from the Texas A&M Health Science Center PRC [Prevention Research Centers - Texas A&M Health Science Center Center for Community Health Development - PRC: Prevention Research Centers - Texas A&M Health Science Center Center for Community Health Development - PRC], evaluated the dissemination and implementation of A Matter of Balance/Volunteer Lay Leader, an evidence-based falls prevention program for older adults, in Texas. The program was found to decrease fear of falling and improve the overall physical activity levels of participants, which are consistent with original study findings.
