Stroll Safe outdoor fall prevention program
The structure of the program will model the evidenced-based Lifestyle Re-Design program (Clark et al., 2012). Session 1, 2, 4 \& 5 will include a brief didactic presentation about outdoor fall risks and strategy use from the group leader. This will be followed by group discussion/problem solving related to addressing risks. Identified strategies will be recorded on a wipe board and transcribed for group members in order to create handouts. Each 90 minute session will end with action planning, where participants will write down behavioral changes they will implement in the coming week. Session 3 and 6, also 90 minutes, will include outdoor mobility training and practice using strategies discussed in previous sessions. Training sessions will be led by the PI and an assistant. The final session will be a review of risks, strategy use, and reinforcement of behavioral changes in participant's action plans.
Outdoor fall prevention brochure
The control group participants will be given a written brochure on tips for preventing outdoor falls.
