Efforts to improve clinical preventive services (CPS) receipt among women with disabilities are poorly understood and not widely disseminated. The reported results represent a 2-year, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs partnership to develop a central resource for existing tools that are of potential use to maternal and child health practitioners who work with women with disabilities. Steps included contacting experts in the fields of disability and women's health, searching the Internet to locate examples of existing tools that may facilitate CPS receipt, convening key stakeholders from state and community-based programs to determine their potential use of the tools, and developing an online Toolbox. Nine examples of existing tools were located. The tools focused on facilitating use of the CPS guidelines, monitoring CPS receipt among women with disabilities, improving the accessibility of communities and local transportation, and training clinicians and women with disabilities. Stakeholders affirmed the relevance of these tools to their work and encouraged developing a Toolbox. The Toolbox, launched in May 2013, provides information and links to existing tools and accepts feedback and proposals for additional tools. This Toolbox offers central access to existing tools. Maternal and child health stakeholders and other service providers can better locate, adopt and implement existing tools to facilitate CPS receipt among adolescent girls with disabilities who are transitioning into adult care as well as women with disabilities of childbearing ages and beyond.
改善残疾妇女临床预防服务(CPS)接受情况的相关工作鲜为人知,且未得到广泛传播。报告结果展示了美国疾病控制与预防中心以及母婴健康项目协会为期两年的合作成果,旨在为现有工具开发一个核心资源库,这些工具可能对从事残疾妇女工作的母婴健康从业者有用。步骤包括联系残疾和妇女健康领域的专家,在互联网上搜索可能有助于接受CPS的现有工具示例,召集来自州和社区项目的关键利益相关者,以确定他们对这些工具的潜在用途,并开发一个在线工具箱。共找到了九个现有工具示例。这些工具侧重于促进CPS指南的使用、监测残疾妇女接受CPS的情况、改善社区和当地交通的可达性,以及培训临床医生和残疾妇女。利益相关者肯定了这些工具与他们工作的相关性,并鼓励开发一个工具箱。该工具箱于2013年5月推出,提供现有工具的信息和链接,并接受关于其他工具的反馈和建议。这个工具箱提供了对现有工具的集中访问。母婴健康利益相关者和其他服务提供者可以更好地查找、采用和实施现有工具,以促进残疾少女在过渡到成人护理时以及育龄及以上残疾妇女接受CPS。
