Introduction: The Regional Integrated Fall Prevention & Management Strategy, in collaboration with the Ontario Age-Friendly Community Outreach Initiative, is conducting surveys to get feedback on a 14-month calendar. The calendar was distributed throughout the South Eastern Ontario region to increase awareness of fall risk factors and services available in the region.
Purpose: The purpose of this survey is to collect feedback from users on how useful they found the calendar. We want to find out if it improved their awareness of some of the causes of falls and how to avoid them. We also want to find out if it increased their awareness of resources for older adults in their community.
Description of the survey procedures: If you agree to complete this survey, you will be asked to provide feedback on the 2017-2018 calendar. You will be asked to answer and elaborate on a series of questions regarding your opinions of the calendar. The survey should take approximately 20 minutes to complete.
Voluntary participation: Participation in this survey is completely voluntary. You may refuse to answer any questions or withdraw at any time without affecting your relationship with the investigators. In addition, you have the right to request that your feedback not be involved in the project.
Benefits of participation: Information collected in this survey may help community and health service providers understand how to better promote falls prevention information and participation in services. It will also support our ability to offer calendars in future years.
Risks of participation: There are no anticipated risks associated with participating in this survey.
Confidentiality: Information collected from this survey will only be accessible to investigators directly involved with the project. Data regarding calendar feedback may be shared with other stakeholders for the purpose of improving the calendars for future years but no personal information about participants will be shared.
