Race concordance data missing for 4 participants in both the breast screening and cervical screening group due to 2 navigators with missing race/ethnicity

P <0.05 χ² test comparing characteristic of race concordant to race discordant patient–navigator pairs

P <0.05 χ² test comparing characteristic of language concordant to language discordant patient–navigator pairs

LGL includes the following Pap test results: atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance/positive for human papillomavirus and low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion.

HGL Includes the following Pap test results: atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance, high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, and carcinoma.
