Note. Knowledge range was 0 to 9 facts, and attitudes range was 1–10. Pretest behavior indicated whether participants had a Papanicolaou (Pap) test within the 6 months before taking the pretest. Follow-up behavior indicated whether participants were up to date on Pap tests by the follow-up (includes having had a Pap test within the 6 months before the pretest, during the 6 months of the study, or scheduling an appointment for one).
