Received abnormal Pap test result at time of study visit: yes*	14.1 (7.8, 20.3)	11.3 (3.3, 19.3)	18.5 (8.0, 29.1)	0.272

Note. CI: confidence interval. P-values are based on chi-square tests comparing lesbians and bisexual women. Women who responded “heterosexual,” “questioning,” or “don’t know” (n=8, 4.9%) to the question on sexual orientation identity were excluded from this analysis. The proportion of missing data was 1.8% (n=3) for Pap test use in the last 3 years, 17.6% (n=29) for ever receiving an abnormal Pap test result, and 13.0% (n=18) for receiving an abnormal Pap test at the time of the study visit (among women aged 21 years and over).

^*Only applies to women aged 21 years and over (n= 139).
