“…Lastly, a potential obstacle for implementation, just briefly covered in this study, is the risk prone individual’s perceived lack of need for fire protection, a factor often foreseen in implementation [ 37 ]. Vulnerable individuals, most in need for IFS, are often marginalized reflecting underlying social determinants of health [ 50 ], also making them prone to other health issues. Therefore, it can be fruitful to apply measures to improve the overall health and safety for vulnerable individuals, e.g.…”

“…The question of IFS and its implementation is complex [ 36 ], requiring more in-depth results to analyse facilitators and potential barriers to the implementation of IFS in homes. This paper presents the results of an interview study with a selection of Swedish municipalities to further explore how municipalities are working with individualised home fire safety programs; and, if they report on-going activities in this field, to explore the extent of these activities.…”

In 2010, the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) announced a “vision zero” of zero fire deaths in Sweden by 2050. Studies into fire deaths have identified that certain risk groups, including but not limited to older people, are overrepresented in fire death statistics in Sweden. The MSB has developed guidelines for how individualised fire safety (IFS) can be implemented in local communities for risk groups, in support of their vision zero for fire deaths. This paper presents the results of an interview study with a selection of Swedish municipalities to further explore how municipalities are working with IFS programs for community dwelling older people. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research has been used to analyse data developed through semi-structured interviews, from an analysis of the delegation of authority from MSB to local level and assessment of secondary documentation from national, regional and local organisations. The analysis has identified that IFS has, indeed, been implemented to varying degrees in Sweden, but that there are both facilitators and barriers which can be further leveraged to improve the implementation of IFS in the future.

“…MacKay and Ryan 7 also take a social change perspective, arguing that injury prevention can be a by-product of salutogenic design through a human rights approach that addresses social, economic, political and cultural determinants of health and human development. Finally, Gielen et al 8 apply public health frameworks (the Haddon Matrix, Social Ecological Model) to operation-alise the temporal and multilevel elements central to population health science and to describe the interconnections between evidence-based fire prevention strategies and the systems within which they are embedded.…”
