Abstract

Date Presented 4/17/2015

In this mixed-methods study, we identified disparities in breast and cervical cancer among women with disabilities, along with modifiable barriers to screening. By understanding and addressing these barriers, occupational therapy practitioners can be change agents at the provider and client levels.
