Declarations
:
: This study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. This study was approved by the Office of Research Ethics at Simon Fraser University (approval number H21-00741), and also reviewed and approved by the Fraser Health Authority, and the Behavioural Research Ethics Board of the University of British Columbia – Okanagan Campus. Each resident or proxy decision maker provided written informed consent for the recording of video in common areas (e.g., dining rooms). Video footage and fall incident reports were shared as secondary data with our research team. We also analyzed a subset of falls where we obtained separate written informed consent from participants, or their proxy decision makers, to access their medical records. This consent process and secondary data sharing were approved by the Office of Research Ethics at Simon Fraser University (approval number H21-00741), and also reviewed and approved by the Fraser Health Authority, and the Behavioural Research Ethics Board of the University of British Columbia – Okanagan Campus.
