Table 4 presents the results of the multivariate logistic regression on compliance with mammograms and Pap smears. There were differences in compliance with mammograms and Pap smears. For breast cancer screenings, women with health insurance and a regular healthcare provider were more likely to comply with mammograms compared to the reference groups. Women aged 40-49 and 50-59 years were less likely to comply with mammograms compared to the reference group (60 and older). For cervical cancer screening, women who used the Internet during last 12 months to participate in a forum support group for medical issues, women aged 40 years and younger, 40-49, and 50-59, and women who were married and had a regular provider were more likely to comply with Pap smears compared to the reference groups.
