Are the wrong young women receiving Pap tests?
The article discusses research on the link between Papanicolaou (Pap) test and sexual activity among young women in the U.S. It references a study by M. Saraiya et al, published in a 2009 issue of the journal “Obstetrics & Gynecology.” An overview of the research findings is presented. It concludes that generalization of the findings to the population at large would entail patient education about Pap smears being performed on the appropriate young women.
