MEND Fall Risk Check

How likely is a fall — and what would change it?

This check needs JavaScript to score your answers in the browser. The questions come from the CDC’s STEADI “Stay Independent” screener, which you can complete on paper instead: a score of 4 or more out of 14 is the point at which clinicians begin screening for falls.

Whatever your score, two things help almost everyone — asking a pharmacist to review every medicine you take, including anything over the counter, and getting your eyes checked once a year.
