The workshop will cover 3 sessions that deal with making interventions culturally relevant (important given a lot of evidence-based interventions are from contexts outside of Malaysia), the use of behaviour change techniques (that take turn an evidence-based exercise intervention into one that older people are more likely to do), and the use of cognitive behavioural therapy to reduce fear of falls (using A Matter of Balance programme, important as fear of falls can be a key barrier to older people’s participation in fall prevention interventions).
