Creating a community advisory board for pediatric bladder health.

Introduction: Pediatric lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are highly prevalent in neurologically healthy school-aged children. However, no evidence-based programs exist to prevent or treat LUTS in the community setting. To address this, we established the first community advisory board (CAB) that aims to identify individual and societal structures impacting pediatric bladder health in Northern California's Bay Area and co-design culturally relevant bladder health interventions.

Parental Knowledge, Beliefs, Practices, and Barriers Related to Children's Bladder Health in the School Environment.

Background: Pediatric lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are a set of common childhood problems. Community-level interventions that target behavioral change among children with LUTS can improve symptoms outside of the clinic environment. Parents, navigating the home and school environments, are key in supporting healthy bladder behaviors.

Paediatricians' perspectives in treating lower urinary tract symptoms: a qualitative exploratory needs assessment study.

Background: Paediatric lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are common experiences among school-aged children, with prevalence rates reaching as high as 20%. Paediatricians are often first-line stakeholders in providing treatment for these bothersome symptoms, yet there is no formal resource to support them with the treatment of LUTS. Evaluating paediatricians' experiences is an important step in informing health promotion efforts to improve health outcomes in children.

Prevalence of pediatric lower urinary tract symptoms in a national claims database of privately insured patients, 2003-2014.

Background: We conducted this study to estimate the prevalence of pediatric lower urinary tract symptoms (pLUTS) in a US privately insured pediatric population who are 6-20 years old by age, sex, race/ethnicity from 2003-2014. This has not been previously described in the literature.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed Optum's de-identified Clinformatics® Data Mart Database between 2003-2014.

Prevalence of pediatric lower urinary tract symptoms in a US population seeking medical care, 2003- 2014.

Background: We conducted this study to estimate the prevalence of pediatric lower urinary tract symptoms (pLUTS) in a US privately-insured pediatric population who are 18 years of age or older by age, sex, race/ethnicity from 2003-2014. This has not been previously described in the literature.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed Optum's de-identifed Clinformatics Data Mart Database database between 2003-2014.
