32 Urinary Incontinence Chronic Condition Management What questions on HOS (Health Outcomes Survey)? Q42 Many people experience problems with urinary incontinence, the leakage of urine. In the past 6 months, have you accidentally leaked urine: YES (go to question 43) NO (go to question 46) Q43 How much of a problem, if any, was the urine leakage for you? A BIG PROBLEM (go to question 44) A SMALL PROBLEM (go to question 44) NOT A PROBLEM (go to question 46) Q Have you talked with your current doctor or other health provider about your urine leakage problem: YES NO Q45 - There are many ways to treat urinary incontinence including bladder training, exercises, medication and surgery. Have you received these or any other treatments for your current urine leakage problem? YES NO

Difficulty with bladder control results in higher rates of depression and limited activity levels. Incontinence is expensive both to individuals in the form of bladder control products and to the health care system and nursing home industry.

35 Urinary Incontinence Chronic Condition Management Design the intervention Figure out what is going on now usual care.
