Interested in Learning How to Conduct Fall Screens? 

 STEADI is a standardized protocol developed by the CDC for fall prevention. We have developed an integrated course to provide training on STEADI and associated interventions.

​The training course (FRAIL: Fall Risk & Adult Intervention Linkages) provides foundational training on the STEADI fall risk screening protocol, information on evidence-based interventions and how to effectively refer individuals to these programs. The screening and referral process has been endorsed by the Iowa Falls Prevention Coalition as a standard method for Iowa. The course is appropriate for a range of professionals (both clinicians and non-clinicians) since screening can be conducted with different levels of sophistication. 

Des Moines University Medicine and Health Sciences is the accredited provider and has approved this activity for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™, American Osteopathic Association credit, nursing contact hours, and continuing education contact hours. If you have questions regarding continuing education credit, please email [email protected].

How Does it Work?
Programming and training are managed through the ISU Translational Research Network (U-TuRN) which works to disseminate evidence-based programming across Iowa. The procedures for screening are IRB approved to enable data to be used for state monitoring.

​We will be evaluating our training model over time so Individuals and organizations that engage will be asked to complete baseline evaluations and periodic surveys to evaluate programming.  If you are interested in learning more, please email us at ​[email protected]
