Abstract

We evaluate the implementation of evidence-based falls prevention programs (EBFPPs) of the Administration for Community Living (ACL) Grantees by (1) describing adoption; (2) evaluating implementation through participant adherence; and (3) describing program maintenance. Secondary data analysis of a national data repository included forty-four ACL grantees spanning 31 states who were funded between September 2014 and December 2019 and provided information on over 80,000 older adult participants. Descriptive statistics including frequencies, percentages, and means were used to describe adoption, implementation (adherence), and maintenance of EBFPPs. Senior centers were the most common organizations to adopt EBFPPs. Most programs were maintained at their respective organizational site through repeat offerings, with several programs (60%) being offered greater than 10 times. Information regarding adoption, implementation, and maintenance of EBFPPs is valuable in identifying the best programs suited for different organizations and their clientele, which can inform policy for scaling and sustaining EBFPPs across the nation.

采用、实施和维护循证预防跌倒计划。

我们通过（1）描述采用情况；（2）通过参与者的依从性评估实施情况；以及（3）描述计划维护情况，评估社区生活管理局（ACL）受赠方的循证跌倒预防计划（EBFPPs）的实施情况。对全国数据存储库进行的二次数据分析包括了 2014 年 9 月至 2019 年 12 月期间在 31 个州获得资助的 44 个 ACL 受资助人，他们提供了超过 8 万名老年参与者的信息。描述性统计包括频率、百分比和平均值，用于描述 EBFPP 的采用、实施（坚持）和维护情况。老年中心是最常采用 EBFPP 的组织。大多数项目都是通过重复提供的方式在各自的组织地点维持，其中有几个项目（60%）提供了 10 次以上。有关 EBFPP 的采用、实施和维护的信息对于确定适合不同组织及其客户的最佳项目非常有价值，可为在全国范围内推广和维持 EBFPP 的政策提供参考。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Gerontology (JAG) is the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society. It features articles that focus on research applications intended to improve the quality of life of older persons or to enhance our understanding of age-related issues that will eventually lead to such outcomes. We construe application broadly and encourage contributions across a range of applications toward those foci, including interventions, methodology, policy, and theory. Manuscripts from all disciplines represented in gerontology are welcome. Because the circulation and intended audience of JAG is global, contributions from international authors are encouraged.
