Note: Data derived from the 1998 California Women’s Health Survey weighted to make respondents statistically representative of all women in California according to age and race in accordance with the 1990 California population. Papanicolaou data include all women, whereas mammography and clinical breast examination data include women ≥ 40 years of age.
OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval.
