title: Data collection in continence care.
abstract: Evaluation is an important component of any project. However, where change is complex and the time and resources available for collecting data are scarce, considerable thought needs to be given to how evaluation is best carried out. This article discusses some of the issues that arose during the setting up of a service to promote continence.
