Adapting Evidence-Based Falls Prevention Programs for Remote Delivery - Implementation Insights through the RE-AIM Evaluation Framework to Promote Health Equity.

COVID-19 disproportionally impacted the health and well-being of older adults-many of whom live with chronic conditions-due to their higher risk of dying and being hospitalized. It also created several secondary pandemics, including increased falls risk, sedentary behavior, social isolation, and physical inactivity due to limitations in mobility from lock-down policies. With falls as the leading cause of preventable death and hospitalizations, it became vital for in-person evidence-based falls prevention programs (EBFPPs) to pivot to remote delivery.

Improving Parent-Child Interactions in Pediatric Health Care: A Two-Site Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background And Objectives: Heterogeneity in risk among low-income families suggests the need for tiered interventions to prevent disparities in school readiness. Smart Beginnings (SB) integrates two interventions: Video Interaction Project (VIP) (birth to 3 years), delivered universally to low-income families in pediatric primary care, and Family Check-Up (6 months to 3 years), targeted home visiting for families with additional family risks. Our objective was to assess initial SB impacts on parent-child activities and interactions at 6 months, reflecting early VIP exposure.
