Bladder health research survey for females aged 13-17 years old

Is your daughter 13 to 17 years of age and willing to complete a survey to further research on female bladder health?

If you are the parent or caregiver to a 13–17-year-old female, she may be eligible for a Yale study to find out more about how we should ask adolescents about their bladder health. We want to know if the questions on a bladder health survey make sense to your child.

Surveys will take around 20-30 minutes to complete.

Compensation of $50 will be provided upon completion of the survey.
