Cervical screening participation and access facilitators and barriers for people with intellectual disability: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The World Health Organisation's vision of eliminating cervical cancer as a public health problem is achievable, but elimination must be achieved equitably, including for people with intellectual disability. A better understanding of cervical screening within the context of the lives of people with intellectual disability is needed. This study systematically reviewed research on the rates of cervical screening participation among people with intellectual disability, and facilitators and barriers that affect participation.

Working together with people with intellectual disability to make a difference: a protocol for a mixed-method co-production study to address inequities in cervical screening participation.

Introduction: Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers yet remains a disease of inequity for people with intellectual disability, in part due to low screening rates. The ScreenEQUAL project will use an integrated knowledge translation (iKT) model to co-produce and evaluate accessible cervical screening resources with and for this group.

Methods: Stage 1 will qualitatively explore facilitators and barriers to screening participation for people with intellectual disability, families and support people, healthcare providers and disability sector stakeholders ( ≈ 20 in each group).

Is there a place for a molecular diagnostic test for pelvic inflammatory disease in primary care? An exploratory qualitative study.

Introduction: There is currently no test for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) that is non-invasive and sufficiently sensitive and specific. Clinicians must therefore diagnose PID clinically, ruling out medical emergencies and conducting pelvic examinations where possible. While guidelines state that clinicians should be prepared to over-diagnose PID, it remains an under-diagnosed condition, with severe reproductive health impacts when left untreated.

Factors associated with pelvic inflammatory disease: A case series analysis of family planning clinic data.

Background: We aimed to better understand factors associated with pelvic inflammatory disease in an outpatient setting.

Methods: We analysed the characteristics of pelvic inflammatory disease cases diagnosed in an outpatient setting during 2018. There were 72 cases included in the final analysis.

Renewal of the National Cervical Screening Program: health professionals' knowledge about screening of specific populations in NSW, Australia.

Objectives: The National Cervical Screening Program was renewed in Australia from 1 December 2017, with the introduction of 5-yearly human papilloma virus (HPV) screening from age 25, and the release of updated national screening guidelines. This study aimed to determine health professional knowledge of the renewed screening program following implementation.

Methods: We invited health professionals providing cervical screening in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, to complete an online survey in late 2018, to better understand their knowledge of the renewed screening guidelines, in particular regarding screening of specific populations, and to ascertain whether they had undertaken any educational activities relevant to the renewal.

Associations of anticipated prescribing of long-acting reversible contraception by general practice registrars: A cross-sectional study.

Background And Objectives: Long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) is highly effective, but uptake in Australia is low. The aim of this study was to establish general practice registrars' LARC training/insertion experience, as well as frequency of and factors associated with choosing LARC in response to clinical vignettes.

Method: This was a cross-sectional questionnaire-based study of general practice registrars in NSW or ACT.

Prescribing of long-acting reversible contraception by general practice registrars across different rural regions of Australia: A cross-sectional analysis of the Registrar Clinical Encounters in Training Study data.

Objective: To describe the pattern of prescribing long-acting reversible contraception by Australian general practitioner registrars across different classifications of rurality/urbanicity.

Methods: A study nested within the Registrar Clinical Encounters in Training ongoing cohort study of Australian general practitioner registrars' in-consultation experience.

Design: A cross-sectional analysis of Registrar Clinical Encounters in Training data collected 2010-2017.

National Cervical Screening Program renewal in Australia: survey of clinician views and attitudes.

From 1 December 2017, the National Cervical Screening Program was renewed in Australia, with updated national cervical screening guidelines released. This study was performed to determine clinicians' familiarity with the updated guidelines and explore their views and attitudes towards the renewed program. Clinicians providing cervical screening in New South Wales, Australia, were invited to complete an online survey in 2018.

Prevalence and associations of prescribing of long-acting reversible contraception by general practitioner registrars: a secondary analysis of ReCEnT data.

Objective: Long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) is the most effective form of contraception but use in Australia is low. Uptake of LARC prescribing by early-career general practitioners (GPs) has important implications for community reproductive health. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and associations of Australian GP registrars' LARC prescribing.

Factors associated with the initiation of testosterone replacement therapy in men from the 45 and Up Study.

Background And Objectives: There have been large increases in testosterone prescribing since 2000. The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) initiation in men.

Methods: Data were from the 45 and Up Study, an ongoing cohort study involving 266,942 participants from New South Wales aged ≥45 years.
