Abstract
Background: This study sought to assess the perceived value of in-person and online implementation of a community-based continence promotion program among Wisconsin community agencies serving older adults.
Methods: Electronic surveys were administered to representatives of organizations that serve older adults and assessed their preferences and perceptions of disseminating and implementing a continence promotion program to members of their organization.
Results: Among 101 participants, most (68%) reported an online program would appeal to their organization, while fewer noted the appeal of an in-person program. Many considered technology a barrier but indicated the online format could improve program reach and provide privacy to women with incontinence.
Conclusions: Community organizations perceived incontinence as a prevalent and important issue and see advantages of in-person and online program implementation.
