People with learning disabilities have higher rates of mortality associated with cancer of the colon and the rectum than the general population. Data for 2016 suggest that in the NHS Highland health board area less than half of all people known to specialist learning disability services, who were eligible for bowel screening, participated in the Scottish national bowel screening programme. To address the low uptake of bowel screening among people with learning disabilities, a peer-led educational intervention was developed and delivered to 109 adults with learning disabilities in the health board area. Its aims were to increase participants' knowledge of bowel health and bowel screening and reduce the barriers to their participation in the bowel screening programme.
