Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Investigators hypothesize that the assessment of homes for fall hazards with a GoPro camera will be better than a homeowner paper checklist in hazard identification.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Participants will be randomly allocated to a homeowner paper checklist or a GoPro video assessment and then cross-over to the opposite intervention.
To assess accuracy, a gold standard home assessment will be completed by a trained evaluator, after the homeowner checklist and GoPro video assessment.
Upon completion of the data collection, the evaluator will conduct their assessment (gold standard); review the findings from the GoPro "playback" with the participant, and conduct a semi-structured interview on their prior awareness of fall hazards, perceptions about the different methods of detecting fall hazards in their home; and intentions to remediate identified hazards.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Home-Based Video
GoPro Camera
Video based/Therapists' rating of comprehensive-home-fall-hazard-checklist (vt-CHFHC)
The participant will use GoPro technology and follow standardized instructions to inspect each room of their house. They will navigate through their home wearing the GoPro camera, recording images about their home and their usual activities and use a talk-aloud approach to describe what they are doing and seeing. The evaluator will provide no feedback during the assessments.
Paper Checklist
Homeowner Print Checklist
Paper based/Patient self-rating of comprehensive-home-fall-hazard-checklist (pp-CHFHC)
A paper version of CHFHC and other self-reported documents will be completed by the participants in their homes based on standardized verbal instruction provided by the research staff.
