Towards Inclusive Colorectal Cancer Screening: Experiences and Needs of Adults With Intellectual Disabilities

The findings reveal significant barriers to healthcare and preventive cancer care for people with ID. The following practical implications were derived: Eliminating discrimination, improving accessibility, designing appropriate information and educational materials, implementing mandatory ID-specific training for health professionals, considering the importance of emotions and implementing ID-appropriate health services. Considering these aspects when developing inclusive cancer screening programmes is of paramount importance to promote equitable health and cancer prevention, especially for marginalised and vulnerable groups.

Abstract

The findings reveal significant barriers to healthcare and preventive cancer care for people with ID. The following practical implications were derived: Eliminating discrimination, improving accessibility, designing appropriate information and educational materials, implementing mandatory ID-specific training for health professionals, considering the importance of emotions and implementing ID-appropriate health services. Considering these aspects when developing inclusive cancer screening programmes is of paramount importance to promote equitable health and cancer prevention, especially for marginalised and vulnerable groups.
