Abstract
An effort to provide fall prevention education to rural older adults has led to the development of a fall prevention toolkit, Falling Less in Kansas. Usability testing was done to determine the ease of use of the toolkit within the target population. Older adults were recruited from rural Kansas communities to perform the toolkit tasks. Task completion was evaluated for time, accuracy, and completion. Although most tasks were completed without difficulty, a few required the assistance of the investigators. The Falling Less in Kansas toolkit is an effective and user-friendly method to educate rural older adults on fall prevention.
