This study investigated the effects and interplay of several core determinants of consensus in person perception: information overlap, information quantity, cross-situational consistency, and shared meaning. Targets ( = 200) were filmed in different standardized situations. Perceivers either watched the same target in different situations ( = 1,395 perceivers) or different targets in the same situation ( = 3,963 perceivers) and then rated the targets' personalities after each video.

Objective: To develop a prediction model and illustrate the practical potential of personalisation of treatment decisions between app-based treatment and care as usual for urinary incontinence (UI).

Design: A prediction model study using data from a pragmatic, randomised controlled, non-inferiority trial.

Setting: Dutch primary care from 2015, with social media included from 2017.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluates the cost-effectiveness of an app-based treatment for women suffering from urinary incontinence (UI) compared to standard care in the Netherlands.
  • A total of 262 women participated in a randomized controlled trial from 2015 to 2018, with results indicating that app-based treatment was cheaper by €161 per year.
  • Overall, while the app showed slightly different outcomes in quality of life measures, it was found to be a cost-effective option for managing UI in primary care settings.

Background: App-based treatment for urinary incontinence is a proven effective and cost-effective alternative to care as usual, but successful implementation requires that we identify and address the barriers and facilitators associated with app use.

Objective: The goal of the research was to explore the factors influencing app-based treatment for urinary incontinence and identify which barriers or facilitators are associated with treatment success or failure.

Methods: We used a sequential explanatory mixed methods design to connect the results of a randomized controlled trial with data from semistructured interviews.

Objective: To assess the long-term effectiveness of app-based treatment for female stress, urgency or mixed urinary incontinence (UI) compared with care-as-usual in primary care.

Design: A pragmatic, randomised controlled, superiority trial.

Setting: Primary care in the Netherlands from 2015 to 2018, follow up at 12 months.
