Self-reports of Pap smear screening in women with physical disabilities

▶ We collected self reports of cervical smear screening in 521 women with physical disabilities, to define the reproductive health care for this group of people. ▶ Our study found women with physical disabilities have higher use of Pap smear tests than does the general population in Taiwan (74% vs. 64% in aged ≥30 years). ▶ Logistic regression model for the use of Pap smear test indicated that marital status, disability level and cognitive level toward Pap smear information were factors to affect the use of Pap smear in the study participants.
