1 Screening for cervical cancer: Will women accept less?
Brenda E. Sirovich, MD, MS, Steven Woloshin, MD, MS, Lisa M. Schwartz, MD, MS  The American Journal of Medicine  Volume 118, Issue 2, Pages (February 2005) DOI: /j.amjmed Copyright © 2005 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Percentage (number) of women who say they will never stop getting Pap smears, according to age, risk perception, and perceived motivation for screening guidelines. Data presented include women who have been screened at least once. Percentages are weighted estimates to account for the sampling strategy and are therefore not simply the ratio of numerator to denominator. Percentages may not add to 100% due to rounding. An asterisk denotes that the difference between groups is significant at P <0.05. The American Journal of Medicine  , DOI: ( /j.amjmed ) Copyright © 2005 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions

3 Figure 2 Percentage (number) of women who say they would try to keep having Pap smears at their current screening frequency despite a physician’s recommendation to have them less often, according to age, risk perception, and perceived motivation for screening guidelines. Data presented include women currently screened annually or more often. Percentages are weighted estimates to account for the sampling strategy and are therefore not simply the ratio of numerator to denominator. Percentages may not add to 100% due to rounding. An asterisk indicates that the difference between groups is significant at P <0.05. The American Journal of Medicine  , DOI: ( /j.amjmed ) Copyright © 2005 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions
