Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To evaluate how patient knowledge and confidence in decision making can be impacted by shared decision making in common urogynecology conditions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The investigators will enroll patients seeing a specialist to discuss treatment of pelvic organ prolapse, overactive bladder and stress urinary incontinence in this pilot study. The study will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of three decision aids designed to promote shared decision making conversations for these three condition. The investigators use a quasi-experimental design in which the investigators first enroll patients in the control arm and measure their outcomes. Then, the investigators enroll patients into the intervention arm and measure their outcomes. The investigators estimate that it will take about one month to recruit the control arm and one month to recruit the intervention arm. Patients will be surveyed after the clinic visit with a specialist and surveys will assess patients' knowledge, treatment preferences, shared decision making, decisional conflict and acceptability of the tool. A clinician survey will be administered and completed after each patient visit, that details how the physician felt about the length of the visit, how informed the patient was, and how far along they may be with their decision.
