Baseline Knowledge of Stress Urinary Incontinence Among Urogynecology Patients

Canada90 participantsStarted 2026-04-30

Plain-language summary

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.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
