Abstract
Public health educational messages intended to increase appropriate use of Pap screening should include factual information about risk factors such as age and possession of an intact cervix. Other messages intended to reduce inappropriate use of Pap screening should be directed at physicians, since many elderly women intend to inappropriately seek Pap tests based on erroneous beliefs/attitudes.
