Cross-cultural adaptation, content validity, and reliability of the Amharic version of the modified John-Hopkins fall risk assessment scale among older adults who attend home health care services.

Background: The modified John-Hopkins fall risk assessment tool (mJH-FRAT) is a comprehensive and multi-factor fall risk assessment tool used to screen and grade older adult's fall risk levels in home health care services. This can help to identify risky individuals early, establish prevention protocols, and reduce the occurrence of injury. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of contextually valid and reliable fall risk assessment tools among this population in the study area.
