Self-Care to Prevent Birth-Related Urinary Incontinence in Diverse Women
Completed · Phase 3
Conditions studied: Urinary Incontinence
In brief
The primary goal of this project is to determine the efficacy of an antenatal Bladder Health class to prevent UI in a diverse sample of African American, Caucasian, and Hispanic childbearing women. The determination of efficacy will be made at 12-months post index birth, a time point that is a traditional benchmark of recovery from childbirth, using UI incidence/severity as the primary outcome.
