Program Overview
Program Evaluation

The guiding hypothesis behind the Fear of Falling study is that a theoretically grounded 8 session group intervention focusing on elders' fear of falling will achieve substantial gains in self-confidence, sense of control and reduced fear resulting in increased activity levels and quality of life for older persons. This intervention program was recently the winner of the APHA Archstone Foundation Award for Excellence in Program Innovation.
