The BEST at Home pragmatic fall prevention program: effectiveness, cost effectiveness and implementation

福尔斯是一个重大的公共卫生问题，具有巨大的个人，社会和经济后果。某些类型的运动可以防止福尔斯，但需要新的策略来更有效地实施这些计划，以最大限度地提高老年人的吸收和坚持。预防跌倒和促进健康的研究人员正在与伊拉瓦拉肖尔黑文地方卫生区合作，评估奥塔哥运动计划在以小组为基础的研讨会形式为老年社区居民实施时的预防跌倒效果。

Falls are a major public health issue with enormous personal, social and economic consequences. Certain types of exercise can prevent falls, however new strategies are needed to implement these programs more effectively to maximise uptake and adherence by older people. Researchers in fall prevention and health promotion are partnering with the Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District to evaluate the fall prevention effect of the Otago Exercise Programme when implemented in a group-based workshop format for older community-dwelling people.
