Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of a Urogynecology Social Media Navigation Aid Kit (SNAK) and routine counseling in the treatment of women with newly diagnosed urinary incontinence. The study will conduct a randomized controlled trial on treatment-naïve patients seeking care for urinary incontinence. The research will have five aims: 1. evaluate the impact of SNAK on patients' self-efficacy in managing urinary incontinence symptoms 2. compare patient satisfaction with urinary incontinence treatment between SNAK and routine counseling groups 3. assess the impact of SNAK on urinary incontinence severity 4. evaluate the impact of SNAK on patients' quality of life 5. examine if there is an impact of SNAK on patients' treatment decision. Participants will be randomized to routine counseling alone versus routine counseling plus a SNAK. They will be given a baseline survey at their initial enrollment to the study. The investigators will follow up at a 3-month interval where they will be given a post-intervention survey.
