Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The first measurement point in time is arranged according to each institution's schedule. Participants may have participated in the program for longer periods of time already (accordingly, the duration of participation may vary between some weeks and some years). Number and severity of falls recorded at the second measurement point (6 months after the first measurement point). Both primary outcomes are self-reported by participants of the program in a questionnaire asking for the number and severity of falls within the last 6 months using the falls Grading Scale.

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
At first and second measurement point in time (6 moths after the first measurement point) several secondary outcomes are assessed by means of self-report questionnaires: Mobility, Activities of Daily Living, Self-Efficacy, Transfer to Everyday Life, Quality of Life (EQ5D), Group cohesion, Enjoyment, Physical Activity In addition one objective test is administered at T1 and T2: The Dual Task Performance for a walking while talking test (time for walking 3 meters stopped with a stopwatch, time for walking 3 meters while counting backwards minus 3, counting backwards minus 3 without walking; Schwenk et al., 2010)	—
