The homelessness sector is an appropriate venue to access women who are disadvantaged and under-screened. However, increasing workforce capacity to discuss screening does not lead to increased screening for women accessing these services. Further efforts are required. SO WHAT?: Access to cervical screening by women experiencing disadvantage remains a challenge. Sustained multi-faceted health promotion efforts are required to increase access. These should be informed by additional research exploring barriers and enablers for this group of women.
