Scoping Review Inclusion Criteria for Cancer Research Involving Adults with Disabilities

A scoping review protocol for studies published from 2006 onwards, sourced from Embase, Medline, PsycINFO, and CINAHL. The dataset, a 9.5 KB Excel file, contains the inclusion and exclusion criteria for a review exploring how adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities are represented in cancer research. The review was authored by Rebecca L. W. Hansford and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Designing inclusive cancer research protocols based on the documented inclusion criteria.
• Analyzing participant recruitment methods for studies involving adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities.
• Mapping levels of patient involvement in research based on the International Association for Public Participation spectrum.
• Identifying gaps in the representation of adults with disabilities within cancer research literature.

Strengths

• Clear temporal coverage defined from 2006 onwards.
• Search strategy includes four major biomedical databases (Embase, Medline, PsycINFO, CINAHL).
• Openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for reuse.

Limitations

• Dataset is very small at 9.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Row count and specific column definitions are unknown.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
