Public Health Programs to prevent pelvic floor disorders; a scoping review

This project consists of a scoping review to assess information available on public health programs for the prevention of pelvic floor disorders (PFD). We will review, collect, and analyze the data available worldwide. This data is often sparse, heterogeneous, published in several languages and scattered amongst different nations making it very complex. The data gathered will be utilized to propose a public health program focused on both prevention and treatment of pelvic floor disorders. We hope to make this program applicable to the Edmonton population provided by the Urogynecologist from the Urogynecology Wellness Clinic, housed at the Lois Hole Hospital for Women in Edmonton, Alberta. This program will lead to the improvement of the quality of life of women living with PFDs and improve women’s health.
