Inclusion and exclusion criteria according to the PICO framework

PICO framework	Inclusion criteria	Exclusion criteria
Population	All staff members in LCFs working with older people (aged 65 and above). Older LCF populations or mixed LCF populations where the older population is separately studied. Mixed settings can be included only if LCF-related data are separately reported.	Intervention is not directed at the staff of the LCF. Studies included only individuals aged under 65 or where data are not separately reported for the older people within a mixed-age population. Studies based outside of an LCF. Studies relating only to specific populations in LCF, for example, long-stay mental health residents, people with cognitive issues, intellectual disability, etc. Non-English, non-Arabic language. Published before 2001.
Intervention	Fall prevention interventions, whether single component or multifactorial/multicomponent, where there is an implementation strategy or implementation process described	Studies where the implementation strategy or process is not described
Comparaison	Usual care or other interventions	There will be no restriction on the comparator used in eligible studies.
Outcome	Implementation outcomes (eg, adoption, fidelity, etc). Patient-related outcomes (ie, fall risk and/or rate)	Studies must include implementation outcomes and/or falls outcomes to be included.

LCF, long-term care facility; PICO, population, intervention, comparison and outcome.
