Findings from this cross-sectional survey highlight health disparities when compared with people in the general community, underscoring the need for routine and systematic data collection on reproductive, gynecological and breast health history and outcomes in this population and the need for collaborative approaches to ensure incarcerated women have access to appropriate and recommended preventive healthcare services.
