24. Independent Samples Test
Correlation between:
Age and PAP smear:
F=6.1 p=0.014 CI 95% [-9.5,-6.2]
Occupation and PAP smear:
F=4.1 p=0.042 CI 95% [-3.14,1.32]
25. Conclusions
57% of surveyed eligible women never had a smear.
There is no correlation between a woman’s occupation and
doing the PAP smear.
F=4.1 p=0.042 CI 95% [-3.14,1.32]
There is a correlation between a woman’s age and doing
the PAP smear: the older the woman, the less likely to do a
smear.
F=6.1 p=0.014 CI 95% [-9.5,-6.2]
26. Recommendations and Plan
Awareness campaign for women and doctors:
