A single 1-hour continence promotion group education workshop, facilitated by the research coordinator, aimed at changing knowledge and beliefs about urinary incontinence and different treatment options. An evidence-based self-management tool will be distributed at the end of the workshop.

A single 1-hour group education workshop on other health topics of concern to older women such as memory, hearing, insomnia

Interactive group education workshop promoting continence

Patient global impression of improvement questionnaire Sandvik severity index ICIQ-FLUTS

Reduction in incontinence-related falls measured by fall diary

Measured with the Incontinence Quality of Life questionnaire (IQOL)

Cost/QALY. Direct costs will include costs related to the intervention as well as health care resource use due to incontinence-associated falls and health care seeking for incontinence will be measured. Indirect costs will be measured such as the time lost from work for a child or spouse to accompany the participant to receive medical treatment for incontinence or falls. The change in utility from the baseline incontinent condition to improved incontinence with increased social participation and decreased stigma on quality of life will be calculated from SF6D utilities derived from the SF-12 questionnaire at baseline and 1-year follow-up. A disease-specific measure, the IQOL is currently undergoing mapping onto the SF-6D to see if it will provide a more responsive indication of improved quality of life than the generic SF-12 measure.
