Develop a study that will inform the VicHealth Public Awareness Campaign to reduce falls from ladders.

You can base your research proposal on this given scenario by our uni: Scenario: Ladder Falls During 2013 ICU Physicians at their weekly meeting made the observation that falls and specifically falls from ladders were increasing at their hospital. They also noted that recent patients admitted to ICU with “fall from ladder” resulted in a number of deaths and severe head injuries. Unfortunately no data was available to them on the incidence of ladder falls, mortality and patient outcomes to support their observation. A researcher from the National Trauma Research Institute was approached to undertake a retrospective descriptive study of patients admitted to the Alfred Hospital following a ladder fall over a five year period. 582 Cases were identified who were admitted to hospital following a ladder fall. Among these 58 were admitted to ICU with 15 dying in hospital. The majority of cases were men over 50 years of age. Many failed to return to work or were left with permanent disabilities. Poor patient outcomes were associated with head injuries and low temperature on arrival at hospital. VicHealth were informed about the results and expressed an interested in funding a Public Awareness Campaign to reduce Ladder Falls. However such a program could not be effectively implemented without fully understanding why these falls were occurring. Issues such as the patients job and OHS training, the condition of the ladder, was the fall witnessed, weather condition, footwear and mechanism of injury were put forward as issues that need to be identified. The researcher also discussed informally the circumstances of the fall with a number of patients admitted to hospital following a ladder fall. Anecdotal feedback was that the majority of falls were in a domestic situation with around half of the patients having prior OHS training in their workplace. At this time the hospital identified that falls from ladders were increasing over the last two years. You are asked to develop a study that will inform the VicHealth Public Awareness Campaign to reduce falls from ladders. **All articles that you will use should be within 5-6 years old and peer reviewed articles only.
