Primary Care Providers’ Experiences Recommending and Performing Cervical Cancer Screening for Women with Intellectual Disabilities: A Qualitative Study
2024
Overview
Women with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) are less likely to receive cervical cancer screening (CCS) relative to women without disabilities. Primary care providers (PCPs) play key roles in recommending CCS. The purpose of this study was to identify factors PCPs consider when recommending and performing CCS for women with I/DD. Using a qualitative approach, in-depth semi-structured interviews (N = 13) were conducted with majority family medicine-trained PCPs. Through inductive data analysis, it was found that most PCPs reported recommending CCS; however, follow-through for performing CCS varied. PCPs attempted to align their CCS recommendations with national guidelines and provided counseling and education to families and patients about CCS while taking an individualized risk–benefit approach. Despite most PCPs reporting a lack of knowledge or training related to providing I/DD-specific care, PCPs attempted to draw upon experiences with similar populations to recommend and perform CCS. There is an opportunity to improve knowledge of PCPs related to performing CCS for women with I/DD.
