Belgium program Enhancing the uptake and Effectiveness of a Multifactorial falls Prevention intervention in Older community-dWElling peRsons (BE-EMPOWERed): A study protocol.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06105437 (BE-EMPOWERed Study), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it

Abstract
aimsThis study protocol aims to outline a mixed-methods study of the implementation of the BE-EMPOWERed program in four primary care areas (PCAs) in Flanders. The study assesses implementation processes and outcomes, while exploring its effectiveness on clinical outcomes.
backgroundDespite strong evidence supporting multifactorial falls prevention interventions, their implementation in clinical practice remains limited, contributing to substantial research waste. Systematic implementation science approaches are essential to address this gap. The BE-EMPOWERed program, developed using Intervention Mapping and Implementation Mapping, aims to enhance the uptake and effectiveness of multifactorial falls prevention interventions in older community-dwelling people. The program includes a seven-week group intervention for older people, workshops for healthcare professionals (HCPs), and an implementation plan tailored to PCAs.
methodsTwo-year mixed-methods study using a convergent parallel design. Qualitative data from focus group interviews and observations will assess implementation outcomes and processes, while quantitative data from a before-and-after study will evaluate the program’s effectiveness on fallers, concerns about falling, balance, walking speed and muscle strength and behavior in older people using surveys and tests at multiple time points. DISCUSSION: The BE-EMPOWERed program addresses barriers and facilitators in translating evidence into practice, aiming to reduce falls and promote active aging. This study will offer actionable insights, tools for scaling up and evidence-based strategies for future national and international initiatives. It will also contribute to implementation science by demonstrating practical methods for bridging research into practice gaps in community-based falls prevention.
