RECOMMENDATION 2.1: Engage adults at risk for falls and fall injuries using the following actions:
explore their knowledge and perceptions of risk, and their level of motivation to address risk (Level of Evidence = III);
communicate sensitively about risk and use positive messaging (Level of Evidence = III);
discuss options for interventions and support self-management (Level of Evidence = Ia);
develop an individualized plan of care in collaboration with the person (Level of Evidence = Ia);
engage family (as appropriate) and promote social support for interventions (Level of Evidence = III);
evaluate the plan of care together with the person (and family) and revise as needed (Level of Evidence = V).
