abstract="Contributors to <i>Injury Prevention</i> frequently lament the inadequacy of the evidence base on interventions intended to prevent injury. The most recent reviews completed by the Cochrane Injuries Group (CIG) highlight the fact that some types of injury are better served by the evidence base, such as it is, than are others.   <p>Injuries from falls are recognised as a major threat to elderly people. There are several measures that are known to be efficacious in reducing the risk of falling for old people individually, but how effective are prevention programmes conducted at community level in reducing the incidence of fall related injury? One of CIGs latest systematic reviews has addressed this question &quot;Population-based interventions to prevent fall-related injury in older people&quot;. The reviewers found only five quality trials that met their inclusion criteria. However, in all five the rate of injuries caused by falls decreased after population based programmes had been implemented.</p>",
