Study Summary
Phase 1 of the study: Falls are the leading cause of preventable injury, long term disability, premature institutionalization and mortality in the older adult population. Promising preliminary research suggests that modifications to the home can potentially reduce the incidence of falls in the elderly. The purpose of this study is to gather data necessary to design a definitive trial of a home modification intervention for older adults at risk for fall. The specific aims are to 1) estimate the efficacy of an intensive tailored environmental intervention to reduce functional decline among community-dwelling older adults; 2) gather the data necessary to design a definitive clinical trial of an intensive tailored environmental intervention to reduce the cumulative incidence of falls among community-dwelling older adults; 3) examine the direct cost of intensive tailored home modification. A pilot randomized controlled trial will be conducted with 40 older adults who have experienced a fall resulting in an emergency room visit. Phase 2 of the study: Our long-term objective is to prevent falls for these older adults at high risk by removing hazards in their homes. Development of an effective intervention for fall reduction could have an immediate impact for this population and high public health significance. Intensive home hazard removal has been established as an effective environmental intervention for the prevention of falls; however, none of the published studies have been conducted in the US, and no study has adequately controlled for biases. The investigators propose a double-blinded, randomized sham-controlled clinical trial to determine the efficacy of an intensive tailored home hazard removal intervention to reduce the cumulative incidence of falls among 110 community-dwelling older adults who visit the emergency department (ED) because of a fall. This three year study will be the first to utilize a sham control group and a double-blind, randomized study desi
