Eight % to sixteen % of school-aged children or approximately 50,000 children in British Columbia (BC) suffer from persistent urinary incontinence (i.e., beyond age 5 years, when continence is usually achieved). Prevalence decreases with age, yet studies indicate that 10%-25% of healthy adolescents and young adults also suffer from incontinence. Persistent incontinence has profound social, emotional and behavioral impacts, and adversely affects the quality of life of affected children and their families.
