Data from ten programs from 2014-2019 were evaluated. Completers were older and reported more fear of falling and lower perceived health at baseline. A higher proportion of completers had reduced falls, decreased fear of falling, and were more likely to take actions to reduce fall risk. Both groups improved in physical function with no evidence of a difference between groups. While completers gained a greater benefit, both groups demonstrated a fall risk reduction. A larger loss of non-completers to follow-up may have impacted results.
