NCT ID NCT05534412
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a program that trains primary care doctors can improve how they treat women with urinary incontinence. The program includes lectures, checklists, and tools to help doctors provide better care. Researchers will compare clinics that get the training to those that don't, looking at whether patients receive recommended treatments and need fewer specialist visits.
