THOM, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1-12 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study reports on uptake rates of cervical cancer prevention and screening in a clinically-referred cohort of adolescent and adult females with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Females with ASD (11–65 years) were invited to participate in an online survey to report on uptake of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and cervical cancer screening. Participants also provided demographic and clinical information. Chi-square statistical analysis was utilized to examine the relationship between categorical variables and receipt of cervical cancer prevention and screening. Forty-one out of 73 (56%) of adolescent (11–17 years) and 51/108 (47%) of adult (≥ 18 years) females with ASD reported having received at least one dose of the HPV vaccine. Only 30/73 (41%) and 37/108 (34%) of adolescents and adults respectively, were fully vaccinated (≥ 2 doses). Language impairment was the only clinical factor found to be associated with non-receipt of the HPV vaccine. Thirty-one out of 82 (38%) adult females (≥ 21 years) with ASD had received at least one pap smear. Language impairment, intellectual disability, non-independent living, and lower level of education were all associated with not receiving a pap smear. Females with ASD are vulnerable to invasive cervical cancer disease due to low uptake rates of the HPV vaccine and routine pap smear screening.
