Summary

This study tests whether making homes safer—like adding non-slip mats, night lights, and securing rugs—can reduce falls in people aged 60-80 who have fallen before or worry about falling. Researchers will track 320 participants over 12 months to see if these low-cost changes work and are worth scaling up.

Active substance: Home environment assessment and modification (non-slip mats, night lights, anti-fall signs, double-sided tape) plus personalized advice
What this could lead to: If it works, this could provide a low-cost, scalable way to prevent falls in older adults living at home.
What could go wrong: This is a relatively small, single-city trial. Results may not apply to other regions or populations, and the effect may be modest.
