Screening for cervical cancer: What are the determinants among adults with disabilities living in institutions? Findings from a National Survey in France

Highlights • We examine the Pap test participation among disabled women living in institutions. • The rate of cervical cancer screening is particularly low in this population. • The severity of disability is a barrier to cervical cancer screening. • Being socially isolated, illiterate or underweight also decrease the screening rate. • Institutions do not play the protective role that we could expect.
