* Respondents who reported having hysterectomy were excluded from both numerator and denominator.* This question was asked of female respondents who reported ever having a Pap smear and those respondents who were not asked formed NEVER category.

Percentages are weighted to population characteristics and therefore cannot be calculated exactly from the numbers in this table.
