abstract="Fall injuries are the leading cause of injury death in older adults, yet despite this, health-care providers do not routinely incorporate fall prevention into practice. A fall prevention training program was developed for non-clinical caregivers serving community-dwelling older adults using the CDC's STEADI tool. The project outcomes revealed statistically significant increases in items related to knowledge and confidence in fall risk and assessment. <br><br>FINDINGS could guide the development of fall prevention training programs targeted at non-clinical caregivers to community-dwelling older adults.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
