      ab: Language is important in health policy development. Policy changes in Australia to increase cervical screening offers a timely case example to explore the function of inclusive language in health policy. Gender and sexuality diverse people with a cervix have been largely invisible within health promotion programs, which has led to reduced awareness of, and access to, cervical screening. Twenty-eight semi-structured interviews were conducted with 29 key informants between April and October 2022 about the role of inclusive language in cervical screening policy, promotion, and delivery in the context of a national program to promote cervical screening. Three themes were identified from what key informants believed to be the role of inclusive language: (1) the common goal of inclusive language as policy advocacy for broader inclusivity; (2) the inevitable partiality of inclusive language in policy as an opportunity to start conversation; and (3) policy as a bridge between essential but diffuse components of the health sector with multidirectional influences. Inclusive language was seen to operationalise equity in health policy within the broader aim of eliminating cervical cancer among under-screened populations.
