A Framework for Incorporating a Disability Lens in Women’s Reproductive Health Research and Practice for Healthy Life Trajectories

We present a framework developed through disability and reproductive health expert consensus to guide the adaptation of interventions for healthy life trajectories to meet the needs of women with disabilities. We conducted a scoping review of support available for women with disabilities, in-depth interviews with experts from the disability and reproductive health sectors, and a group consensus-building process for framework development with expert participants from the disability and reproductive health sectors. Findings identified challenges to disability-inclusive care in reproductive health services. Recommendations include tailored actions to specific stakeholders within their scope of practice to work toward disability-inclusive health care for persons with disabilities.
