About the study
The ‘ScreenEQUAL’ study wants to make it easier for people with intellectual disability to have a cervical screening test, and to have a positive experience with the test.
This video explains the ScreenEQUAL Project in an accessible way, please click on the video to watch.
We want to talk with:
- people with intellectual disability
- their families
- support people (paid and unpaid)
- managers and leaders in disability organisations
- health professionals (GPs, nurses)
We will talk with you:
- for about an hour
- online (e.g., Zoom), over the phone, or in-person – you choose!
- about ways to improve cervical screening for people with intellectual disability
- we will keep what you tell us private.
