  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

The **PURSUIT project** is working to help women Veterans in the Southeast of the U.S. get better care for Urinary Incontinence (UI), which is when someone can't control their bladder. The study will test two ways to help: using a special toolkit with a mobile health app (mHealth) and adding education on how doctors can better consult with patients. **Cluster randomization** means that instead of picking people one by one, groups of practices are chosen randomly for different treatments. Practices will get help from a facilitator, learn to use the mHealth app, access an online hub, and receive tech support. The goal is to find the best way to offer non-surgical UI treatment to women Veterans nationwide through the Veterans Health Administration (VHA).

  • The study will take place in Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina.
  • About 50,000 women Veterans will be contacted, with 2,500 expected to join.
  • Participants need internet access and cannot be pregnant or recently given birth.
