abstract="INTRODUCTION: Process evaluations examining programme implementation are often conducted in conjunction with effectiveness studies. Their inclusion in studies with  Aboriginal participants can give an understanding of programme delivery in  Aboriginal community contexts. The Ironbark: Standing Strong and Tall programme was  codesigned with Aboriginal communities and includes exercise and facilitated  'yarning' discussion about fall risk and prevention strategies. The programme pilot  showed favourable outcomes and acceptability for Aboriginal people aged 45 years and  over. The Ironbark: Standing Strong and Tall programme is now being compared with a  'Healthy Community' programme in a cluster randomised controlled trial within  Aboriginal health and community services. An embedded process evaluation aims to  explore relationships between participation and programme outcomes and the quality  of programme implementation. <br><br>METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The process evaluation will use a  mixed methods design, guided by Indigenous research methodology. It will evaluate  quantitative data (number of completed sessions, site coaching checklist tool,  participant and facilitator questionnaire data and a participant habit formation  scale), as well as qualitative data (open-ended responses from project and site  staff and semistructured interviews using yarning with study participants and site  managers). A programme logic model was developed to explain the intended inputs,  activities, outputs and outcomes, which guided this process evaluation design. <br><br>CONCLUSION: This process evaluation of a fall prevention programme for older  Aboriginal people using a mixed methods design and data triangulation will allow for  a comprehensive understanding of study findings. Multiple study sites allow for  generalisability of findings and exploration of variation across sites. TRIAL  REGISTRATION NUMBER: ACTRN12619000349145.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
