Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to promote healthy bladder behaviors among school children. We hypothesize that a combination of bladder health education and awareness events, additional resources such as a water station to support healthy bladder behaviors, and tailored changes to classroom bathroom policies can promote healthy bladder behaviors among school children.
Detailed Description
In order to promote healthy bladder behaviors among school children, we will conduct a randomized control trial in schools. The research team will provide support for a combination of bladder health education and awareness events, additional resources such as a water station to support healthy bladder behaviors, and tailored changes to classroom bathroom policies that are TBD (e.g. mobile technology bathroom passes). The study will involve 4-8 fourth grade classrooms within 2 elementary schools that meet the historical criteria for \>50% students receiving free school lunch.
