Section 8: Continence

Urinary Incontinence

“Do you have a problem with losing control of urine when you don’t want to?” 

This is an asterisked item, and as such, input from an accompanying person may be allowed depending on the result of the Clock Drawing Test.

  • This question is only about bladder incontinence, not bowl incontinence

  • The use of continence aids does not qualify a problem – this question is assessing how the interviewee is functioning with what they currently have in place
