Reducing Disparities in Urinary Control Symptoms for Minority Women
This study is testing an 8-week, home-based program called the SUPPORT workbook for women experiencing bothersome urinary incontinence (UI) or lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The program combines education, bladder retraining, pelvic floor exercises, and core strengthening. It was created by experts and modified based on feedback from minority women to be culturally sensitive and patient-centered. You may be able to join if you are an adult woman, speak English, are bothered by your urinary symptoms, and are willing to try conservative treatments for 16 weeks. The study aims to see if the SUPPORT workbook can improve your urinary symptoms, measured by changes in your Urinary Distress Inventory (UDI) score, from enrollment to the end of the 8-week treatment. The study is currently recruiting 80 women, but its exact status is unclear.

What this trial measures
- Urinary Symptom Changes (UDI Subscale)From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks
To compare changes in urinary symptoms using the validated Urinary Distress Inventory (UDI) subscale of the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI) between baseline and 8-weeks (program completion) in patients undergoing the SUPPORT program. The Urinary Distress Inventory (UDI-6) is a validated 6-item questionnaire that assesses lower urinary tract symptoms, including incontinence, in women. The UDI-6 score is calculated by averaging the responses to each question (possible value 0 to 4), then multiplying that average by 25 to scale the score from 0 to 100. A higher score indicates greater distress.
