Request for Question Clarification by bobbie7-ga on 04 Nov 2004 07:45 PST

Hello Rose Morris,

I located a 2003 publication by the American Cancer Society that
provides a table with the percentage of women in the United States (or
by individual State) that had a pap test in the year 2000.

The data is divided into the following age groups:
18-44 years
45+ years
65+ years

This appears to be the most recent data available as it was published in 2003.

Would this information be of your interest?

Thanks,
Bobbie7
