Article Synopsis
- People living with HIV (PLWH) face an increased risk of falls due to factors like polypharmacy, substance use, low physical activity, and age-related frailty, highlighting the need for effective fall prevention strategies.
- A pilot randomized trial will assess a virtual occupational therapy intervention aimed at preventing falls among PLWH who also have recent alcohol and/or drug use, comparing it against a control group receiving written education.
- The study will evaluate participation rates and satisfaction, as well as changes in fall incidents, substance use, and physical functioning, providing insights for a future larger-scale trial.
