Women’s Health & Disability

In partnership with the Kentucky Women’s Cancer Screening Program, this project is working to improve access to breast and cervical cancer screenings for women with disabilities. Results from the developed community needs assessment will be important to understanding the barriers women with disabilities face in accessing quality women’s health screenings and follow-up care. Collected data helps to inform the development of resources for patients and providers, including print materials, videos, and online training.
