In this episode of What the Health? we discuss our domestic initiative, Transcervix.
As part of our mission to raise awareness and prevention of cervical cancer, particularly among underserved communities, CCAP Across The Map launched a program to address disparities in preventive screenings among transmasculine individuals. Our initiative, Transcervix, includes an IRB-approved study which will help us better understand the barriers to transmasculine care and ultimately reduce the risk of cervical cancer among this vulnerable population. Our research has shown that transmasculine individuals are significantly less likely to receive preventive screenings than cis women. We are proud to have partnered with the University of Arizona and the University of Louisville in this important work.
In this episode, we sit down with the co-founders of CCAP Across The Map, Jillian Leaver and Hunter Ackerley to discuss the goals of the Trancervix program, and how we are working to #SaveTheCervix by addressing health disparities.
