Dr. Jennifer Locke is currently conducting three research studies under the umbrella of “Optimizing Urologic Care for Women in the Interior Health Region”.
If you are a female patient aged 19 or older with stress predominant urinary incontinence who has decided to pursue pelvic floor physiotherapy (in person, virtual or online through Vaginacoach.com), we are conducting a questionnaire that will take approximately 30 min of your time before and 30 min of your time afterwards to complete. The goal is to determine if online/virtual pelvic floor physiotherapy is as useful as in person pelvic floor physiotherapy for stress urinary incontinence.
If you are interested in participating in this study, please email IHurology.research@ubc.ca for more information.
We appreciate the time you take to better Urologic care for women in this region.
If you are a female patient aged 19 or older with genitourinary syndrome of menopause (i.e. experience vaginal dryness, burning, discharge, itchiness, urinary symptoms) or dyspareunia (i.e. painful intercourse), we are conducting a questionnaire that will take approximately 30 min of your time to determine if pelvic floor physiotherapy can help your symptoms or not. You do not have to be enrolled in pelvic floor physiotherapy to participate.
If you are interested in participating in this study, please email IHurology.research@ubc.ca for more information.

If you are a female patient aged 19 or older who has recently been prescribed mirabegron (Myrbetriq or an anticholinergic), we are conducting a questionnaire that will take approximately 60 minutes of your time total (sent out before you start the medication, 3 months after starting and 12 months after starting) to determine if the use of these drugs improves physical activity.
