Breast Cancer, Cervical Cancer, Colorectal Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of this project is to develop and pilot test an innovative approach for overcoming barriers to cancer screening among women with physical disabilities (WWD) in rural Oregon. Many studies have shown that people with disabilities receive fewer indicated cancer screening services and are more likely to have poor cancer-related outcomes, such as late stage at diagnosis, compared to those without disabilities.
Interventions
OTHERClinic Intervention
The Clinic intervention consists of an educational video, an interactive meeting with clinicians and clinic staff, and a facilitated follow-up meeting with clinic staff.
