Overview:

Getting started with systems dynamics modeling in falls prevention. We’ve all seen model projections related to COVID-19.  Systems Dynamic Modeling can help us understand how systems work and anticipate how changes will affect specific components and the overall system.  This understanding impacts policy, management, and health outcomes.  Kristi will briefly present her progress of modeling in older adult fall prevention and encourage group discussion in exploring how systems modeling can be applied to injury prevention.
