Watzke, J., Smith, D. B. D., Somerville, N. and Verran, A. (1989): The Study of Home Safety Problems for Older Disabled Persons: A Multi-Dimensional Approach. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 191-193.

“The presentation features beginning efforts on a 5 year project concerned with the identification of home safety problems and technological solutions for older disabled persons. First, the multi-dimensional model guiding the project is presented. Second, pilot survey data concerned with 72 older persons' home accident histories, risk perceptions associated with everyday activities, and tendencies to engage in risky in-home behaviors are discussed. Finally, preliminary survey data from 30 "in-home assessment" professionals will be discussed. These data identify environmental, functional, and psychological in-home safety problems for elderly persons for the given daily activities stipulated by the project's model.”
