Abstract
This is the protocol for a review and there is no abstract. The objectives are as follows: To present the best evidence for effectiveness of programmes designed to reduce the incidence of falls in older people in residential care facilities and hospitals. We will test the following hypotheses: Interventions in residential care facilities and hospitals designed to reduce the incidence of falls are effective. Interventions in residential care facilities and hospitals which target multiple risk factors are more effective than those which target single risk factors. Interventions in residential care facilities and hospitals of longer duration or higher intensity are more effective than those which are short duration or low intensity. Interventions which are individually tailored to target risk factors and impairments of older people in residential care facilities and hospitals are more effective than those which are applied as a 'standard package'. Interventions targeted at environmental risks in residential care facilities and hospitals are effective.
