Recovery After a Fall: Experiences of Older Adults and Their Care Partners (HP-00117339)

We want to learn what makes going home and getting better after an injury easier or harder.

Who can join?

• Adults age 55 or older who had a fall-related injury in the last 12 months and returned home after a hospital stay
• Or family members/friends who cared for them

Requirements

• Take part in a one-time one-on-one interview (about 60-90 minutes)
• Interviews will take place by Zoom or phone, whichever is most convenient

Research participants will receive: One $50 gift card after completion of the 60-90 minute interview
