Use of an Educational Video to Improve Adherence to Treatment in Voiding Dysfunction

This study aims to explore whether the use of an educational video on voiding dysfunction, a common urinary dysfunction, leads to improve parents and child perceived adherence to behavioral treatment recommendations. Our main hypothesis explores whether there is improved perceived adherence, and whether this improved perceived adherence leads to better symptom outcomes in this condition.

We do so through randomizing patients to a control and intervention group, where the latter is exposed to the educational video, while the control group experiences standard of care visits/follow-ups. Data is collected through surveys pre and post exposure to the intervention.
