Question How can the cervical cancer screening experiences of women with physical disabilities (WWPD) be improved?
Findings In this qualitative study of 56 WWPD, those who face disability-specific barriers from the in-office physician-led speculum examination shared their experiences testing self-screening devices for cervical cancer screening through qualitative interviews. WWPD reported that self-sampling options would be comfortable and convenient for future screening.
Meaning Interviews with WWPD indicated that access to self-sampling options would be more comfortable for cervical cancer screening participation, findings that can inform the promotion of recently US Food and Drug Administration–approved self-sampling devices.
