Breaking the Inverse Care Law for Fall Prevention Programs: a Collaborative and Community-led Approach
2025
Overview
Weiss et al, highlighted the inequities in the access of FPPs/1) Since the access of medical services follows the inverse care law,(3) older adults with lower socioeconomic status, education, and physical fitness are less likely to receive referrals and/or participate in FPPs/4) To address the gaps in FPP accessibility, the Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities (NORCs) Innovation Centre at the University Health Network has developed a community-led FPP approach working with local older adult leaders. Through our initial proofs-of-concepts, we have seen the creativity and commitment of communities in advocating for needs, encouraging neighbours to participate, and promoting peer education and modeling to sustain change. CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURES We have read and understood the Canadian Geriatrics Journal's policy on conflicts of interest disclosure and declare we have none.
