The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u2019s Stopping Elderly Accident, Deaths, and Injuries (STEADI) initiative aims to reduce falls by screening to find at-risk individuals, evaluation, and then addressing modifiable risk factors. This study evaluated the effectiveness of implementing a STEADI-based multi-component fall prevention approach via telemedicine in primary care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Research Design and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A randomized controlled quality improvement trial (STEADI Options) was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic (July 2020\u2013December 2021). Primary care professionals (PCPs) were randomized to either standard-of-care (SOC) or intervention. The intervention included a fall risk assessment by a research nurse, who shared STEADI-based recommendations with PCPs. Recommended interventions were administered at the discretion of PCPs. Outcomes included self-reported falls (primary), medically treated falls, fall-related service utilization (physical therapy, occupational therapy, eye care, podiatry), and medication changes, assessed over one year. Analyses followed an intent-to-treat approach.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 660 participants (353 SOC; 307 intervention), the cohort was predominantly female (67.7%), aged 65\u201379 years (73.6%), and non-Hispanic White (56.1%). Intervention participants had higher average Stay Independent Screener (SIS) scores (6.3 vs. 5.2; p\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001). Overall, 5.5% reported a fall in the past 12\u2009months. No significant differences were observed between groups in fall-related outcomes (e.g., medically treated falls odds ratio [adjusted for SIS]: 0.741; 95% CI: 0.411\u20131.336).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion and Implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although no significant differences were found, limited recruitment, low baseline fall rates, and unmeasured adherence may have impacted results.
