Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational qualitative project uses two phases of interviews and group discussions to explore how ethnic minority adults experience community healthcare and falls-prevention interventions. Phase 1 interviews focus on adults from ethnic minority backgrounds living in their own homes about their use or non-use of interventions, while Phase 2 interviews focus on people who deliver falls-prevention services in community settings. Participants must be adults living in the UK and able to give informed consent; hospital inpatients and care-home residents are excluded. The research team will use thematic analysis to identify barriers, facilitators, and cultural or structural factors that could inform more tailored community services.
