Excited to share our study on cervical cancer screening rates among US women w/ schizophrenia in Schizophrenia Bulletin. We need to ensure that women with schizophrenia can access this important but often overlooked preventive health care service.

Important piece by @AlisonHwong showing that cervical cancer screening rates among US women w/ schizophrenia were low. Interventions are needed to prioritize women w/ schizophrenia who are less engaged in health care system or live in rural areas. https://t.co/R6gEYJhlh1

Our primary care intervention in a mental health clinic led to modest ⬆️ diabetes & cholesterol screening, a whopping 1%➡️16% HIV testing. Promising start, but must align $ incentives & quality metrics for lasting change. @CMangurian @UCSFPsychiatry
