Falls Intervention Dataset

Description

Data simulated by Shenvi et al. (2019) describing an intervention to reduce falls among the elderly.

Usage

falls_long

Format

A data frame with 50000 observations of 6 binary variables.

Details

As described in Walley et al (2023): "Under this intervention, a certain proportion of individuals aged over 65 would be assessed and classified as low or high risk. Those assessed to be at a high risk are referred to a falls clinic for an advanced assessment. All those who are referred, 50% of other high risk individuals, and 10% of low risk individuals go on to receive treatment. It is assumed that those who are not assessed receive neither referral nor treatment."

Source

The original data have been downloaded from the cegpy github repository and is also available as supplementary materials of Walley et al (2023). In the original data pairs of variables Housing-Assessment and Referred-Treatment are encoded in variables HousingAssessment and Treatment respectively. Function colsplit from package reshape2 was used to split those variables.
