Evaluating the Cost Effectiveness of STEADI
NCT05390736 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths, and Injuries (STEADI) is an intervention to prevent falls among older adults developed by the Centers for Disease Control \& Prevention (CDC). Studies piloting the intervention have shown promising results; however, more evidence is needed to show that the intervention can be implemented cost-effectively on a larger scale in a real-world integrated health system. To this end, NORC partnered with Emory University School of Medicine to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the STEADI intervention. This study aims to answer the following research questions to fill remaining knowledge gaps about STEADI: 1. Does STEADI significantly reduce falls among the target population compared to the standard of care? 2. Does partial implementation of some selected STEADI modules, also significantly reduce falls among the target population as compared to the standard of care? 3. Does the net present value of falls and resulting injuries averted by STEADI implementation exceed the net present value of the costs of STEADI implementation and the incremental costs that result from it? Using a mixture of qualitative interview and quantitative performance measures, the study evaluates and describes this case of STEADI implementation within selected primary care clinics of Emory Healthcare. NORC partnered with Emory University School of Medicine to implement different aspects of STEADI in a real-world primary care setting, document experiences implementing the intervention, measure implementation costs, and compare the outcomes of the STEADI intervention compared to control version of the intervention.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05390736
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05390736 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 780 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is National Opinion Research Center, which has 5 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Accidental Fall appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 5 interventions — of which Gait and balance assessment is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT05390736 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Georgia. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
