Abstract
Objective
People with intellectual disabilities (ID) have difficulty in accessing oral or written health information presented in a conventional manner what compromises prevention. This study aims to develop accessible information on breast, cervical and colorectal cancer screening for people with ID.
Method
The instructional material has been developed collaboratively by a team involving representatives from different scientific disciplines (medical and psychoeducational) and people with ID. Five principles guided its elaboration, i.e. coconstruction, multimodality, phasing, socio-cognitivism and accessibility.
Results
The material created is a 5-component module including a 20-minute easy-toread and understand oral presentation with a slideshow, a workshop that encourages manipulation and discussion, a booklet to take away, a film to consolidate information and a questionnaire.
Conclusion
Providing accessible information is considered a key action in reestablishing equality in access to cancer health care and preventing a cascade of consequences. The co-construction of the module ensures its social and ecological validity. An interventional study is underway to verify its efficacy.
Practical implication
The best practices for cancer prevention endorse spending enough time to discuss screening. This accessible module can be used to provide people with ID basic information about screening, increase their adherence, and facilitate the discussion on this issue.
