Description

Enuresis is the repeated voiding of urine into bed or clothes, whether involuntary or intentional. Proposed causes are psychological, biological and social/environmental. However, the etiology is not fully understood. Furthermore, no significant research was found that looked at enuresis in foster care children. This project is investigating the prevalence and risk factors of enuresis in children in a foster care program to better identify concerns and intervention strategies.
