Am J Public Health. 1981 Aug;71(8):851-2. doi: 10.2105/ajph.71.8.851.

Abstract

Using data from the National Survey of Family Growth, Cycle II, the per cent of women without a Pap test in 1973--76 is shown according to race, residence, and income, updating an earlier report based on 1973 data. Poor women and nonmetropolitan women continued to be significantly less likely than other women to have had a Pap test.
