Cervical screening participation and access facilitators and barriers for people with intellectual disability: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Front Psychiatry 2024; 15:1379497. [PMID: 39132316 PMCID: PMC11310793 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2024.1379497] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 08/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The World Health Organisation's vision of eliminating cervical cancer as a public health problem is achievable, but elimination must be achieved equitably, including for people with intellectual disability. A better understanding of cervical screening within the context of the lives of people with intellectual disability is needed. This study systematically reviewed research on the rates of cervical screening participation among people with intellectual disability, and facilitators and barriers that affect participation. Method Six electronic databases were systematically searched: MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, PsycINFO, Embase and Pro-Quest Central Social Sciences Collection. Empirical studies published between 1986 and 2023, in English language peer-reviewed journals were eligible for inclusion. Further articles were identified through forward and backward citation tracking, and hand-searching the index lists of two key journals. Two authors screened the studies, extracted the data and collated study outcomes using a standardised software program. A meta-analysis was performed using the DerSimonian and Laird method to estimate pooled effect sizes in prevalence rates and odds ratios (ORs). The socio-ecological model (SEM) was used as a framework to thematically analyse facilitators and barriers impacting participation in cervical screening. Results Sixty-three articles met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 42 reported on rates of cervical screening participation and 24 reported on facilitators or barriers to cervical screening for people with intellectual disability. Overall, the studies reported a screening prevalence of 35% (95% CI: 26% to 45%), indicating that just over a third of people with intellectual disability have had cervical screening. The pooled odds ratio of 0.30 (95% CI: 0.23 to 0.41) indicated that people with intellectual disability are significantly less likely to have a cervical screening test compared with people without intellectual disability. Most studies examined individual and interpersonal factors impacting cervical screening. These included: (i) fear and anxiety among people with intellectual disability, (ii) misassumptions preventing screening participation, (iii) the role of support people, (iv) the need for education, (v) accessible information, and time to prepare for screening, (vi) patient-provider communication including challenges obtaining informed consent, and (vii) healthcare provider lack of confidence. Conclusion Future research, policy and practice efforts must address barriers to cervical screening participation among people with intellectual disability and ensure these efforts are co-produced and community-led. This is critical to ensuring equity in global and local efforts to eliminate cervical cancer.

Allen A, Bueno Y, Mallahan S, MacPherson AH, Armin J. Opportunities to expand postpartum support for those in recovery from opioid use disorder: Results from a qualitative study. DRUG AND ALCOHOL DEPENDENCE REPORTS 2023; 7:100170. [PMID: 37334156 PMCID: PMC10276205 DOI: 10.1016/j.dadr.2023.100170] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Revised: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 06/01/2023] [Indexed: 06/20/2023]
Abstract
Introduction Over the past two decades the national prevalence of opioid use disorder (OUD) during pregnancy has increased more than 600%. Managing recovery from OUD during the postpartum period can be particularly challenging. Thus, we sought to identify ways to expand perinatal OUD treatment to ultimately reduce risk of postpartum return to opioid misuse. Methods We conducted in-depth semi-structured interviews with pregnant or postpartum (i.e., gave birth within the past year) mothers who have OUD, as well as with professionals who work with this population. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and coded for themes using Dedoose software using an eco-social framework. Results Participants included 7 mothers (median age 32 years old; 100% receiving treatment for OUD) and 11 professionals (average of 12.5 years in the field; n=7 healthcare providers, n=4 child safety caseworkers). A total of 10 major themes emerged in three levels. First, at an individual level themes included mental health, personal responsibility, and individual agency. Second, at the inter-individual level themes included support from friends and family, and other sources of support. Next, at the systems/institutional level themes included culture of healthcare systems, an ill-equipped healthcare system, social determinates of health, and continuum of care. Finally, a theme identified across all three levels included keeping mother and baby together. Conclusions Several opportunities to enhance the support and clinical care of OUD during the perinatal period were identified. Additional work is needed to explore how these themes may be incorporated into existing programs and/or the development of new interventions.

An Adapted Cancer Screening Education Program for Native American Women With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and Their Caregivers: Protocol for Feasibility and Acceptability Testing. JMIR Res Protoc 2023; 12:e37801. [PMID: 36780214 PMCID: PMC9972207 DOI: 10.2196/37801] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2022] [Revised: 09/20/2022] [Accepted: 11/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Women with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) do not undergo breast and cervical cancer screening at the same rate as women without IDD. IDDs are diagnosed in childhood, are lifelong, and involve difficulties in adaptive behaviors and intellectual functioning. Native American women also experience disparities in breast and cervical cancer screenings. Despite known disparities, women with IDD are often not included in health promotion programs, and there is a need for evidence-based programming for those with intersectional identities, such as Native American women with IDD. OBJECTIVE This study aims to assess the feasibility and acceptability of My Health My Choice (MHMC), an adaptation of the Women Be Healthy 2 program. There are 2 parts to the study: adaptation of the Women Be Healthy 2 program and feasibility and acceptability testing of MHMC. METHODS Individuals aged over 18 years who identify as Native American females with IDD and their caregivers (N=30 women-caregiver dyads) are eligible for the study. Participants, who are affiliated with 2 partnering sites in Arizona (1 rural and 1 urban), complete pre- and postsurveys assessing knowledge, self-efficacy, and screening expectations before and immediately after completing the program. In addition, all participants complete brief satisfaction surveys after each of the 6 educational sessions. A subsample of Native American women with an IDD (n=12), caregivers (n=12), and community health educators (n=2) who participate in the MHMC program will provide semistructured qualitative input regarding the content, delivery, and cultural relevance of the program. RESULTS The adaptation of the culturally responsive MHMC program was completed in August 2021. In November 2021, the project team began recruitment for feasibility and acceptability studies. Feasibility will be examined using participation metrics, and acceptability will be measured using satisfaction measures. Pre- and postmeasures in cancer screening knowledge, self-efficacy, and screening expectations will examine improvements among participants. CONCLUSIONS The results of feasibility and acceptability testing of MHMC will guide future implementation studies of the program.
