Women's knowledge of Papanicolaou smears.
In this survey women were questioned about their knowledge of Papanicolaou (Pap) smears. The findings demonstrate that women have a reasonably good general knowledge about Pap smears but a poor specific knowledge. These results have important public health implications and emphasise the need for greater communication between doctor and patient.
