Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse knowledge	Baseline	The Prolapse and Incontinence Knowledge Questionnaire (PIKQ) is used to assess knowledge. It consists of two distinct scales: the first one measures knowledge about urinary incontinence knowledge, while the second one measures knowledge about pelvic organ prolapse. The total score of each scale can range from 0 to 12. Higher scores indicate greater knowledge.
Health seeking behavior	Baseline	Participants report whether they have sought health care for urinary incontinence. The outcome is the proportion of participants who have ever sought care, among those who reported a history of urinary incontinence.

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Urinary incontinence	Baseline	The International Consultation of Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF) was used to gather information about the symptoms of urinary incontinence. It contains six questions. The total score can range from 0 to 21. Higher scores indicate more severe symptoms.
Practice of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT)	Baseline	The PFMT practice scale of the Pelvic Floor Muscle Training Patient reported Outcome Measures (PFMT-P) was used to assess women's practice of PFMT. Questions dealt with source of knowledge about PFMT, practice and correct performance.
