Changes in Canadian mail delivery and the effect on winter falls risk

Posted Le 16 juin 2016

Recently my students published a scoping literature review on potential implications of mail delivery conversion on older adults’ risk of falls in winter. The article can be downloaded free or charge here: http://ir.lib.uwo.ca/wurjhns/vol6/iss1/8/

Members of the CoP for falls prevention might be interested in sharing this article with their community planners and municipal governments to help them better understand the issue from the perspective of senior safety. The article might also help seniors advocate for their own falls prevention as consultations on the issue continue.
