Women’s Health in Corrections: Evidence-Based Updates and Practical Strategies
Webinar #3 in the Considerations for Special Populations Webinar Series
The final webinar offered in the 3-part Considerations for Special Populations Webinar Series discusses key issues in women’s health that correctional health professionals encounter. The presentation will review common gynecologic conditions, including abnormal uterine bleeding, perimenopausal symptoms, cervical and breast cancer screening, as well as unique aspects of contraception provision in corrections, focusing on trauma-informed strategies and health disparities. We will highlight new guidelines from the CDC and USPSTF to equip participants with the latest evidence and practical tips for implementing best practices in women’s health in corrections.
Learning Objectives
-Identify key diagnosis steps and management options for abnormal uterine bleeding and perimenopausal symptoms for women in custody
-Discuss the importance in correctional settings of access to contraception for pregnancy prevention and non-contraceptive benefits, including practical tips for counseling patients and implementation
-Describe updated guidelines for cervical and breast cancer screening and unique considerations for implementing these in correctional settings
