Colorectal Cancer Screening Among People With Intellectual Disabilities

In this cohort study of people with and without intellectual disabilities, those with intellectual disabilities were less likely to participate in colorectal cancer screening and, when they did participate, more often encountered challenges with stool sample collection and colonoscopy completion. These disparities call for tailored, decision-supportive strategies to ensure equitable access to colorectal cancer screening.

Abstract

In this cohort study of people with and without intellectual disabilities, those with intellectual disabilities were less likely to participate in colorectal cancer screening and, when they did participate, more often encountered challenges with stool sample collection and colonoscopy completion. These disparities call for tailored, decision-supportive strategies to ensure equitable access to colorectal cancer screening.
