Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in score on International Consultation on Incontinence (ICIQ-UI Short Form)	Baseline, 12 weeks	The ICIQ-UI Short Form consists of 3 questions. The ICIQ score is a sum of the responses to the 3 questions with a total possible range of 0 (none) to 21 (all the time/a great deal).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in score on Linear Analogue Self Assessment (LASA)	Baseline, 12 weeks	The LASA questionnaire consists of 6 questions, each ranging from 0 (as bad as it can be) to 10 (as good as it can be). Therefore, the total possible scores would range from 0 (as bad as it can be) to 60 (as good as it can be).
Change in score on Medical, Epidemiological, Social Aging (MESA) Urinary Incontinence Questionnaire	Baseline, 12 weeks	The MESA Urinary Incontinence Questionnaire consists of 3 sections: General questions (unscored), Urge Incontinence (6 questions), and Stress Incontinence (9 questions). The scored questions can range from 0 (never) to 3 (often). The score for the Urge Incontinence is the sum of the responses/18, and the score for the Stress Incontinence section is the sum of the responses/27.
