NCT ID NCT07531641
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a fall prevention program called AL-STEADI in seven assisted living communities. About 700 residents who are at risk of falling will either receive the program or usual care. The goal is to see if the program reduces the number of falls over one year.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AL-STEADI fall prevention program (behavioral intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could become a standard way to prevent falls in assisted living, reducing injuries and improving safety for older adults.
- What could go wrong
- This is a pragmatic trial in a real-world setting, so results may vary across communities. The program requires staff training and may not work as well outside the study.
