Outcomes associated with scale-up of the Stepping On falls prevention program: A case study in redesigning for dissemination.

Introduction: Translating complex behavior change interventions into practice can be accompanied by a loss of fidelity and effectiveness. We present the evaluation of two sequential phases of implementation of a complex evidence-based community workshop to reduce falls, using the Replicating Effective Programs Framework. Between the two phases, workshop training and delivery were revised to improve fidelity with key elements.

Lighten UP! A community-based group intervention to promote psychological well-being in older adults.

Objectives: Aging is often characterized by declines in physical and mental health and increased risk for depression and social isolation. A protective factor that has been found to effectively moderate these phenomena is psychological well-being. The aim of his study was to pilot test a novel group intervention (Lighten UP! program) for the promotion of psychological well-being in older adults living in the community.

Kenosha County falls prevention study: a randomized, controlled trial of an intermediate-intensity, community-based multifactorial falls intervention.

Objectives: To decrease the rate of falls in high-risk community-dwelling older adults.

Design: Randomized, controlled trial.

Setting: Community-based.
