Description
Abstract
he University of Kentucky Human Development Institute will continue its partnership
with the Kentucky Women’s Cancer Screening Program (KWCSP) by utilizing the
information gathered from the community needs assessment to address the
identified barriers for women with disabilities across the state to access quality breast
and cervical cancer screenings. Continued efforts will focus on the distribution and
implementation of universally designed patient education materials. Collaborative
efforts with KWCSP partner, the Kentucky Cancer Program, will work to deliver
healthcare provider education materials including videos, trainings, and/or
infographics.
Additional efforts include information dissemination of outcomes from the
assessment implementation, specific training and education for KWCSP healthcare
providers about serving people with disabilities, broadening outreach of screening
and education services to reach the areas of the state which experience higher cancer
screening disparities, and creation of more accessible cancer education resources
and programs that are meaningfully inclusive of individuals with disabilities.
