Women's knowledge of Papanicolaou smears

I L Gordon et al. Aust Fam Physician. 1990 Nov.

Abstract

In this survey women were questioned about their knowledge of Papanicolaou (Pap) smears. The findings demonstrate that women have a reasonably good general knowledge about Pap smears but a poor specific knowledge. These results have important public health implications and emphasise the need for greater communication between doctor and patient.
