Abstract

A safe home environment (the indoor and outdoor spaces of a person's home) is essential for older adults at increased risk for falling. In this population, environmental modifications can reduce falls by 26%. However, little is understood about how older adults at increased fall risk engage with home safety. The objectives of this study are to use data from a feasibility trial of motivational interviewing (MI) to engage older adults (aged 65 and older who are at increased risk for falling) in fall prevention, describe the frequency and characteristics of 1) home safety recommendations from primary care providers and 2) home safety topics discussed during the trial's MI intervention sessions.
