The goal of this prospective study is to assess whether a standardized educational flyer (pamphlet) improves knowledge about stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in adult females attending a urogynecology clinic. It will also explore how participant characteristics relate to treatment preferences. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does reading a standardized SUI patient information flyer improve participants' knowledge of SUI? How do patient characteristics influence treatment preferences for SUI? Participants will: Complete a self-administered questionnaire assessing knowledge of SUI, including its definition, pathophysiology, risk factors, natural history, and treatment options (this questionnaire is not part of standard care). Review a standardized SUI educational flyer during their clinic visit. Complete the same questionnaire again after reading the pamphlet to assess any change in knowledge. Questionnaire scores before and after reading the flyer will be compared. Secondary outcomes include participant characteristics and reported treatment preferences.
