Summary

The overall objective of STOP-FALLS is to test whether a patient-centered deprescribing intervention that focuses on CNS-active medications reduces medically treated falls among older adults. The aims are: AIM 1: Adapt and pilot-test an evidence-based medication reduction intervention for use in an integrated health care system. AIM 2: Implement and evaluate the adapted intervention using a cluster-randomized controlled trial design. Aim 3: Assess barriers and facilitators to intervention implementation.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

STOP Falls Educational Intervention

This is a pragmatic, cluster-randomized, parallel-group, controlled clinical trial. The unit of randomization is the clinic, to avoid the risk of contamination if healthcare providers within a clinic were randomized (i.e., reducing the potential for intervention providers to communicate with control providers about the intervention and share materials). Eighteen clinics were identified for the trial, of which 9 were randomized to the intervention and 9 to usual care.
