Summary

This trial will compare the effects of a Urogynecology Social Media Navigation Aid Kit (SNAK) vs routine counseling for treating urinary incontinence in women. Participants will be surveyed pre & post-intervention.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for women over 18 with urinary incontinence who are new to the Urogynecology practice at UNM or Sandoval Regional Medical Center. They must be experiencing their first treatment discussion, willing to fill out questionnaires, and have internet access. It's not for those under 18, with a history of treatments or consultations for incontinence, vaginal mesh issues, pregnancy plans soon, cognitive impairments, or language barriers.

What is being tested?

The study tests a Social Media Navigation Aid Kit (SNAK) against routine counseling for managing urinary incontinence symptoms. Women will either receive standard advice or this plus SNAK and then complete surveys about self-efficacy, satisfaction with treatment, symptom severity impact on quality of life and decision-making after three months.

What are the potential side effects?

Since the intervention involves social media tools and counseling rather than medication or surgery there may not be direct physical side effects; however participants might experience emotional distress or anxiety related to discussing personal health issues online.
