Improving access to cervical screening by ethnic minority and marginalised populations

The Mother and Infant Research Unit is a group of researchers whose vision is to deliver world-leading, impactful research to improve the health and wellbeing of women, babies, children and their families, and to reduce health inequalities. We have a shared interests in working with individuals and groups who are often excluded from research to understand and improve their experiences of health and healthcare. 

We welcome proposals that focus on lived experiences of ethnic minoritised and marginalised populations with cervical screening services within and out with the UK. Projects may include exploring service providers’ perspectives, health system and other social determinants of access to cervical screening services. Adopting an implementation research and/or systems thinking approach to addressing the research problem would be an added advantage.
