“…Ariana Smith MD and coauthors describe the rationale, aims, study design, sampling strategy, and data collection for the RISE study. 6 The authors provide insight into the multiple decisions that are needed to develop and conduct such a large study with longitudinal follow-up and in-person assessments. The construction of the baseline and 1 year follow-up survey rely on existing validated instruments or items whenever possible, with derivation of other items from previous national studies, existing literature, or expert opinion.…”

“…9 The PLUS consortium launched the RISE FOR HEALTH (RISE) national study of BH which includes annual surveys and an in-person visit. 10 During RISE study development, the need arose for a process to clearly identify and prioritize which PMs to assess (e.g. levator ani [LA] consisting of the pubovisceral [PV; pubococcygeus], puborectalis, and the iliococcygeus and the obturator internus [OI] muscles) 1,11 in the inperson visit and how to standardize a replicable training approach to PM assessment.…”

Objective: The Prevention of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (PLUS) research consortium launched the RISE FOR HEALTH (RISE) national study of women's bladder health which includes annual surveys and an in-person visit. For the in-person exam, a standardized, replicable approach to conducting a pelvic muscle (PM) assessment was necessary. The process used to develop the training, the products, and group testing results from the education and training are described. Methods: A comprehensive pelvic muscle assessment (CPMA) program was informed by literature view and expert opinion. Training materials were prepared for use on an electronicLearning (e-Learning) platform. An in-person hands-on simulation and certification session was then designed. It included a performance checklist assessment for use by Clinical Trainers, who in

“…The methods of the overall study are described in a companion manuscript in this issue. 4 After two initial surveys, a nested sample of individuals within the cohort will be eligible to participate in an in-person visit. This sample is included to augment the RISE survey data with physical and biologic factors associated with BH that may be identified as potential areas of study in future intervention trials.…”

Objectives To describe the methods for the in‐person assessment of the RISE FOR HEALTH (RISE) study, a population‐based multicenter prospective cohort study designed to identify factors that promote bladder health and/or prevent lower urinary tract symptoms in adult women, conducted by the Prevention of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Research Consortium (PLUS). Methods and results A subset of RISE participants who express interest in the in‐person assessment will be screened to ensure eligibility (planned n = 525). Eligible consenting participants are asked to complete 15 physical assessments in addition to height and weight, to assess pelvic floor muscle function, musculoskeletal (MSK) status, and pain, and to provide urogenital microbiome samples. Pelvic floor muscle assessments include presence of prolapse, strength, levator attachment integrity (tear) and myofascial pain. MSK tests evaluate core stability, lumbar spine, pelvic girdle and hip pain and function. Participants are asked to complete the Short Physical Performance Battery to measure balance, lower extremity strength, and functional capacity. All participants are asked to provide a voided urine sample and a vaginal swab for microbiome analyses; a subset of 100 are asked to contribute additional samples for feasibility and validation of a home collection of urinary, vaginal, and fecal biospecimens. Results Online and in‐person training sessions were used to certify research staff at each clinical center before the start of RISE in‐person assessments. Standardized protocols and data collection methods are employed uniformly across sites. Conclusions The RISE in‐person assessment is an integral portion of the overall population‐based RISE study and represents an innovative approach to assessing factors hypothesized to promote bladder health and/or prevent lower urinary tract symptoms. Data collected from this assessment will be used to prioritize future research questions and prevention strategies and interventions. This description of the assessment methods is intended to provide methodologic transparency and inform other researchers who join efforts to understand and improve bladder health.
