Product Description:

We analyzed data from the National Survey of Family Growth, combining data for women aged 15–25 years (n = 8,242) across four data waves (2011–2019). Among sexually active respondents, less than 56% received a sexual health risk assessment from their medical provider, and less than half received sexually transmitted infections testing, regardless of disability status. Compared to nondisabled females, those with disability were less likely to receive human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination.
