Tailoring Online Continence Promotion

The online continence promotion program has five sections (Introduction, Exercise, Bladder, Bowels, Care Seeking) that build knowledge, self-efficacy, and skills to set action and coping plans relevant to a participant's symptoms. This online program is based on an in-person, small-group program that has demonstrated effectiveness to improve both urinary and bowel incontinence in women age 50 and above. Participants will receive automated weekly reminders reminding them to re-visit the program, regardless of their individual user activity.

This online program is based on an in-person, small-group program that has demonstrated effectiveness to improve both urinary and bowel incontinence in women age 50 and above. Participants will receive tailored output (personalized cues, emphasis on relevant content, individualized and tailored reminders about their goals) based on a computer algorithm incorporating unique user inputs (individual factors). Inputs will be reassessed every 2 weeks for retailoring so that personalization evolves over the course of the intervention."
