This study describes the development and implementation of a large-scale primary fall and fracture prevention programme in Hong Kong and its effect on increasing the awareness and knowledge of fall and fracture prevention among older people. The effect ot promotion of community participation is also investigated in the implemen-tation of this primary prevention programme. The programme includes educational seminars, a train-the-trainers programme and a staff training programme. The effect of the educational seminars is shown by the increase in the knowledge and aware-ness of fall and fracture prevention among these participants (p< 0.01), while that of the train-the-trainers programme and staff-training programme is confirmed by the continuous expansion and continuation of the fall and fracture prevention programme in the community. The experience from this primary prevention programme has given us direction for future implementation of a more comprehensive prevention programme in our community, INSET: KEY POINTS.
