NCT ID NCT07033897
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a home hazard removal program (HARP) adapted for people with physical disabilities. 80 adults aged 45-64 who have had a disability for at least 5 years and live in St. Louis will be randomly assigned to either the program or a waitlist. The program involves 2-3 home visits by an occupational therapist to identify and remove fall hazards. Researchers will track falls and fear of falling over 12 months to see if the program helps prevent falls.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Home hazard removal program (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide an effective way to reduce falls and fall-related injuries for people with physical disabilities living at home.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program requires multiple home visits, which may be hard to scale.
