Screening Tools

The Dartmouth Centers for Health and Aging (DCHA) is now offering a free, 3.5-hour balance screening training for those interested in learning about our "Balance Day" model. This model incorporates the CDC's STEADI algorithm and fall risk screening tools with motivational interviewing skills to help participants interpret results and learn how to prevent future falls.
