The risk continuum represents the spectrum of falls risk based on self-reported and/or clinical outcomes. While all evidence-based falls prevention programs demonstrated a reduction in falls risk factors to become evidence-based, per the Administration for
Community Living’s Older Americans Act Title III-D criteria, not all falls prevention programs aim to achieve the same outcomes. For
example, some programs focus primarily on exercise to improve balance and strength, whereas others may include educational and
discussion-based components that help participants to reduce falls risks.
