The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) developed the Compendium of Effective Community-based Interventions to help public health practitioners effectively address the problem of falls. This Compendium includes specific interventions that have rigorous scientific evidence of effectiveness and provides relevant information about these interventions to public health practitioners, senior service providers, and others who wish to implement fall prevention programs.
