Pap Smear Test Prevalence within Three Years (Age 18+): Maps and Data of Model-Based Small Area Estimates
Definition: For the Pap smear test, a woman 18 years of age or older must have reported having at least one Pap smear test in her life. Furthermore, she should have had one within the last three years by the time of interview.
The Pap smear test prevalence question was asked in BRFSS in 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, and the even years after 2000 as part of the core questionnaire for all states, and in NHIS in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2003, 2005 and 2008. The question was worded in similar ways on the two surveys.
Available estimates are for the time periods 1997-1999 and 2000-2003 and are shown on maps and in data tables by health service area and state. Estimates for all counties except those in Alaska are included in the data tables for corresponding HSAs. To view the most recent estimates on a map with drill-down to states and counties, see State Cancer Profiles.
