Trends of Pap Testing Behaviors by Race. Columns represent the weighted percentages (95% confidence intervals) for females who self-reported screening for cervical cancer with Pap test; age parameters follow the American Cancer Society's 2012–2019 guidelines for cervical cancer screening. Female sample size per year: 2014 = 187,300; 2016 = 188,564; 2018 = 162,354. Unknown race indicates responses “don’t know/Not sure/Refused” or “not asked/missing.” Trends of Pap testing across years were evaluated by comparing the percentages of self-reported Pap testing from 2014, 2016, and 2018 using simple linear regression. **Chi-square detected significant difference in Pap testing behaviors across groups (2014: p < 0.001; 2016: p < 0.001; 2018: p < 0.001). ^aUse caution when interpreting estimate due to 95% confidence interval being wider than 10; this is recommended by the BRFSS (BRFSS, 2019a).
