Abstract
⺠We test an intervention to increase Pap test use in Appalachian women (ages 40-64). ⺠Treatment group receives a tailored lay health advisor home visit and newsletter. ⺠After 3 months, they are more likely to report screening than wait-list controls. ⺠Baseline report of recent prior Pap predicts screening, independent of group.
