To the Editor: In the December 16, 1998, issue, JAMA published an excellent Patient Page on urinary incontinence.¹ Almost simultaneously, the American Urological Association (AUA) was launching a comprehensive long-term public awareness campaign on female incontinence.

One of the biggest problems about female incontinence is that so many women fail to seek treatment—either because of embarrassment or because they mistakenly believe that effective treatment modalities do not exist. To address this situation, the AUA developed and initiated its public awareness effort.

As part of the campaign, the AUA has developed 2 information sources for the general public: a toll-free telephone number (1-800-DRYLIFE) and an incontinence Web site (www.drylife.org). We invite physicians to refer female patients with incontinence problems to these resources.
