Issues Addressed:
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, Queer or Questioning, and/or other people with a cervix (LGBTIQ+ people with a cervix) face barriers to cervical screening, leading to lower participation rates. Our study aimed to report on the design and evaluation of community-informed video resources to promote safe and inclusive cervical screening for South Australian LGBTIQ+ people with a cervix.
Methods:
Two videos promoting inclusive cervical screening were developed by Cancer Council SA, SHINE SA and LGBTIQ+ people with a cervix for LGBTIQ+ people with a cervix (Video 1), and healthcare providers (Video 2). Evaluation involved two online surveys with LGBTIQ+ community members (n = 35) and healthcare providers (HCPs, n = 9) about their respective videos. Quantitative data were analysed descriptively in R; qualitative responses were thematically analysed using a general inductive approach.
Results:
The community-focused video (Video 1) received positive feedback, with LGBTIQ+ people with a cervix feeling represented and expressing increased likelihood and intention to undergo screening. Responding to Video 2, half of the healthcare providers reported increased confidence in interacting with LGBTIQ+ people with a cervix and offering self-collection.
Conclusions:
Improving cervical screening participation among LGBTIQ+ people with a cervix is essential to achieving the National Cervical Screening Program targets. This study highlights a respectful, community-informed and relatively inexpensive approach to promote safe and inclusive cervical screening. The positive feedback from LGBTIQ+ people with a cervix underscores the value of inclusive messaging tailored to community needs. SO WHAT?: LGBTIQ+ people with a cervix face barriers to cervical screening participation, but self-collection may alleviate some barriers. Community-informed resources can effectively support this population to access inclusive cervical screening.
