AFRIS Why measure attitudes to interventions? Introducing the Attitudes to Falls-Related Interventions Scale (AFRIS) However good your intervention is, it can only help people who take it up. Typically between 50% and 90% of people reject falls-related interventions, and it is important to know why so that interventions can be offered in the most acceptable way, to improve uptake and adherence. The Attitudes to Falls-Related Interventions Scale (AFRIS) is the only scale that has been developed and validated as a measure of the acceptability of falls-related interventions. Use of the AFRIS in a variety of settings will allow comparison between the acceptability of different interventions (based on the mean total scores of all patients offered them). In addition, the individual items can be used to identify the particular reasons why people reject an intervention. This information can be used to modify the way the intervention is presented (e.g. to improve confidence in being able to do it) or to identify and then address the specific concerns of particular individuals.
