Personnel and Training Required
The interviewer must be trained to conduct personal interviews with individuals from the general population. The interviewer must be trained and found to be competent (i.e., tested by an expert) at the completion of personal interviews. The interviewer should be trained to prompt respondents further if a "dont know" response is provided."
Equipment Needs
The PhenX Working Group acknowledges that these questions can be administered in a computerized or noncomputerized format (i.e., paper-and-pencil instrument). Computer software is necessary to develop computer-assisted instruments. The interviewer will require a laptop computer/handheld computer to administer a computer-assisted questionnaireRequirements

Definition
A questionnaire assessing urinary leakage in the past 12 months.
Purpose
It is important to address urinary incontinence, as it is a symptom that can be caused by problems in the urinary tract or by underlying medical or physical problems. It can potentially cause additional complications, including skin problems and urinary tract infections. Risk factors include gender, age, being overweight, smoking, a family history of urinary incontinence, diabetes, and additional neurological diseases. Urinary incontinence can be stigmatizing and lead to limitations in daily activities.
