WG3 will focus upon combining the outcomes from WG’s 1 and 2 into a comprehensive plan for a multidisciplinary approach to develop a research agenda for a universal EU cancer prevention guideline that is responsive to the unique needs of people with intellectual disabilities. Development of this strategy will take into account the following key areas: 1) improving the overall health of people with intellectual disabilities taking into account the recommendations of the European Code of Cancer; and 2) responsiveness to ensure all people with intellectual disabilities should have the same right to access cancer screening programmes and that their unique needs are taken into account in the ecological approach to care provision including economic and literacy requirements
