Summary

This trial is researching how to better diagnose and treat OAB/UI, which affect 33 million Americans. The goal is to improve patient symptoms & QOL and reduce undertreatment, especially in vulnerable populations.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women over 18 with overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms for at least 3 months, who can understand English or Spanish. They should not have had certain treatments in the past year and must be new to behavioral treatment. Excluded are those with specific medical conditions like severe bladder issues, neurological diseases, or a history of pelvic radiation.
What is being tested?
The study tests a patient engagement tool designed to improve access and adherence to OAB treatments. It aims to address underdiagnosis and undertreatment by providing tailored education on disease management, expected outcomes, costs, and side effects.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on a patient engagement tool rather than medication or invasive procedures, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, there may be indirect consequences related to changes in how patients manage their OAB treatment.
