(MHB)
What this study is about
Implementing a Mobile Health Application for Women Veterans with Urinary Incontinence (MyHealtheBladder): Function QUERI 3.0 aims to compare implementation approaches while also gathering information on clinical effects of the Evidence-Based Program (EBP) in its new context and focusing on equitable reach (extent to which the program serves all members of its intended audience).
View original scientific description
Implementing a Mobile Health Application for Women Veterans with Urinary Incontinence (MyHealtheBladder): Function QUERI 3.0 aims to compare implementation approaches while also gathering information on clinical effects of the Evidence-Based Program (EBP) in its new context and focusing on equitable reach (extent to which the program serves all members of its intended audience). The overall goal is to implement, evaluate, and sustain MyHealtheBladder in 20 VA facilities using a type III effectiveness-implementation hybrid study framework and parallel cluster randomized trial (CRT) design.
Interventions
OTHER
Implementation Strategy: Foundational Arm
The Foundational Arm includes the following activities: Program sign up, toolkit, kickoff call, SharePoint, TEAMS channel, office hours calls, and site specific data reports.
OTHER
Implementation Strategy: REACH Arm
The REACH Arm includes everything in the Foundational Arm, plus additional components: targeted data reports, a data dashboard, and external facilitation.
Primary outcome measures
Reach
Time frame: 18 months
Reach will be defined as the percentage of Women Veterans that accessed (logged into) the MHB app.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
