“…Pediatric encopresis is a relatively common problem that is typically resistant to primary care intervention. Incidence estimates range from 1.5% to 7.5% of school children ages 6 to 12 years (Doleys, 1983). Encopresis accounts for 3% of general pediatric clinic visits (Loening-Baucke, 1993) and 25% of all pediatric gastroenterology clinic visits (Levine, 1975).…”

This study evaluated the benefits of enhanced toilet training delivered through the Internet for children with encopresis. Twenty-four children with encopresis were randomly assigned to the Internet intervention group (Web) or no Internet intervention group (No-Web). All participants continued to receive routine care from their primary care physician. The Web participants demonstrated greater improvements in terms of reduced fecal soiling, increased defecation in the toilet, and increased unprompted trips to the toilet (ps<.02). Both groups demonstrated similar improvements in knowledge and toileting behaviors. Internet interventions may be an effective way of delivering sophisticated behavioral interventions to a large and dispersed population in a convenient format.

“…The Internet intervention, UCANPOOPTOO, was designed to treat encopresis, which has incidence of 1.5-7.5% in school children aged 6-12 years (Doleys, 1983). The intervention adds to existing non-Internet treatments by reducing the impact of barriers to standard treatment such as clinician time, cost, and lack of comprehensive knowledge about encopresis.…”
