Step One: Reviewing the National Action Plan

We encourage you to get started by reviewing the National Action Plan that represents the best thinking of leading experts in fall prevention. It lays out strategies and action steps that should be initiated to reduce falls and fall related injuries. Several states, communities, and individual organizations and researchers have found the National Action Plan to be a valuable tool in garnering community support, promoting awareness, obtaining funding for fall related initiatives, and building goal and mission statements. We also encourage you to access the compendium of Research Review Papers commissioned in support of the Falls Free™ Summit, which reflects the evidence in support of the Plan strategies.
