Figure 1. Estimated Changes in the Use of Preventive Services among Young Adults between 2009 and 2011–2012, According to Age Group
Data are from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. The data represented by the first two bars for Papanicolaou (Pap) testing exclude women who were 19 and 20 years of age, because for consistency with clinical guidelines, our analysis of the use of Pap testing in the younger age group was restricted to data on women between the ages of 21 and 25 years. The percentages of young adults who received preventive services were adjusted for age, sex (when applicable), race or ethnic group (non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, Hispanic, or other), income level (poor or near poor, low income, middle income, or high income), education level (<12 or ≥12 years), and geographic region (Northeast, Midwest, South, or West).
