What is Impact of STEADI‐Rx : A Community Pharmacy‐Based Fall Prevention Intervention about?
## OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effects of a community pharmacy‐based fall prevention intervention (STEADI‐Rx) on the risk of falling and use of medications associated with an increased risk of falling. ## DESIGN Randomized controlled trial. ## SETTING A total of 65 community pharmacies in North Carolina (NC). ## PARTICIPANTS Adults (age ≥65 years) using either four or more chronic medications or one or more medications associated with an increased risk of falling (n = 10,565). ## INTERVENTION Pharmacy staff screened patients for fall risk using questions from the Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths, and Injuries (STEADI) algorithm. Patients who screened positive were eligible to receive a pharmacist‐conducted medication review, with recommendations sent to patients' healthcare providers following the review. ## MEASUREMENTS At intervention pharmacies, pharmacy staff used standardized forms to record participant responses to screening questions and information concerning the medication reviews. For participants with continuous Medicare Part D/NC Medicaid coverage (n = 3,212), the Drug Burden Index (DBI) was used to assess exposure to high‐risk medications, and insurance claims records
