| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed SAFETY on! a fall prevention program for community dwelling older adults. The program comprised physical & fall risk assessment, health education, practicum, exercise program, and education materials with room tapestry and so on for fall prevention awareness. Randomized controlled trials were performed to examine the effectiveness of education materials for fall prevention and awareness. The subjects recruited from the communities, 98 met the eligibility criteria. They were randomly assigned to either the intervention group(n = 54 ) or the control group (n = 44). An intervention was provided with four sessions of two hours each. Fall occurrence ratio during 12 weeks showed 7.4% in intervention group and 9.1% in control group (RR= 0.82, 95%CI= 0.231－2.873; ARR= 0.017, 95%CI= -0.075－0.109, NNT= 59). From group interviews, education materials have the potential and would be useful for conscious prevention of falls persistently among community dwelling older adults.
