Women's ability to assess their urinary incontinence type using the QUID as an educational tool.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Little evidence is available concerning the ability of women with urinary incontinence (UI) to properly assess their problem. This study compared women's assessments of their UI type with physicians' diagnoses.

Methods: Women referred to a urogynecology clinic for UI were asked to anonymously answer a short validated Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis (QUID) before their physician visit.
