Abstract

Engaging Queer women in developing solutions to address screening disparities is a missing link in cervical cancer prevention and the advancement of reproductive health equity. We share actionable strategies at the healthcare professional, community, and organizational levels to support healthcare systems in translating Queer women's visions into practice. Our findings also inform medical organizations, expert panels, and health authorities on patient-defined strategies and pathways to remedying screening inequity.
