Article Synopsis
- - The MoVEonUp Trial is examining a home-based program to reduce falls and urinary incontinence in older women, specifically those aged 70 and older who suffer from urgency urinary incontinence (UUI), a condition affecting 40% of this demographic.
- - This study involves 314 participants who will be divided into an intervention group receiving a multicomponent program (including strength and balance training, bladder training, and home safety assessments) and a control group getting educational materials on fall prevention.
- - The effectiveness of this intervention will be measured over 12 months by assessing outcomes related to falls, urinary symptoms, physical function, and mobility to see if it successfully reduces falls and improves incontinence among the participants.
Background: Bladder health encompasses total bladder well-being and not merely the absence of urinary symptoms. While much is known about the prevalence of urinary symptoms in women, little is known about the distribution of bladder health (eg, optimal to poor).
Objective: We report the distributions of multiple dimensions of bladder health and function in a population-based sample of community-dwelling women, overall and separately in women without urinary symptoms to begin to explore bladder health dimensions that may precede the onset of symptoms.
Purpose: To examine the validity and usability of a paper log for evaluating exercise duration in older women.
Method: Data from 23 females (mean age = 70.4 years) who completed an 8-week pilot randomized controlled trial investigating the effects of yoga and aerobic/strength training on knee osteoarthritis were included in this secondary analysis.
Mock Juror Perceptions of Eyewitness Reports Given by Children with Intellectual Disabilities.

Previous research suggests that an eyewitness credibility bias can arise when mock jurors are informed of a child's disability diagnosis. The aim of the present study was to examine mock jurors' lie-detection accuracy and credibility perceptions when assessing eyewitness testimonies provided by children diagnosed with an intellectual disability. Adult mock jurors (N = 217; half informed of the child's disability status) read four transcriptions from interviews with children (ages 10 to 15) diagnosed with an intellectual disability before evaluating the credibility and truthfulness of each eyewitness report.

- Women currently lack a comprehensive tool to report their toileting decisions and bladder symptoms, which are influenced by real-world factors that may affect bladder health.
- The PLUS research consortium developed and tested WhereIGo, a mobile app aimed at capturing various environmental and social influences on women's toileting choices, including unique features for reporting urge sensations.
- The app underwent usability testing with community women to measure its effectiveness, employing a user-friendly design and gathering real-time data while adhering to a limit on screen taps.
