Injury Prevention
Falls
As our population ages, falls prevention initiatives will become increasingly important in injury prevention to Nova Scotians. There is a growing body of evidence relating to what causes falls and how they can be prevented. Falls carry an emotional burden on Nova Scotians, as well as a significant economic burden on the healthcare system.
