+Detailed description

In order to promote healthy bladder behaviors among school children, we will conduct a randomized control trial in schools. The research team will provide support for a combination of bladder health education and awareness events, additional resources such as a water station to support healthy bladder behaviors, and tailored changes to classroom bathroom policies that are TBD (e.g. mobile technology bathroom passes).

The study will involve 4-8 fourth grade classrooms within 2 elementary schools that meet the historical criteria for >50% students receiving free school lunch.
