University of Portsmouth Reports Findings in Adverse Drug Reactions (Psychological and educational interventions for preventing falls in older people living in the community).

A report from the University of Portsmouth in the United Kingdom discusses the effectiveness of psychological and educational interventions in preventing falls among older people living in the community. The review analyzed 37 studies and found that cognitive behavioral interventions and motivational interviewing had uncertain effects on falls and fall-related outcomes. Multifactorial and multiple component education interventions showed some potential in reducing concerns about falling but did not significantly reduce the number of falls. The report highlights the need for more research, particularly in low- to middle-income countries. [Extracted from the article]
