      abstract = {In this unique study of the adult female population in the  state of Florida, we found that the percentage of the women  18 to 44 years of age within each county in the state of  Florida in 2007 who had received a Pap smear during the  past year was a decreasing function of the percentage of  women 18 years of age and older who were current smokers,  while being an increasing function of the percentage of  women 18 years of age and older with an annual income of  $25,000 or more, the percentage of adult women under the  age of 45 who take a multivitamin daily, the percentage of  women age 18 and older who were high school gradu-ates with  at least some college education as well, and the percentage  of adult women who were classified as leading a sedentary  lifestyle. It also appears that the percentage of the women  18 to 44 years of age within each county in the state of  Florida in 2007 who had received a Pap smear during the  past year was a decreasing function of the percentage of  the women 18 years of age and older who were overweight.  Based on these findings, certain preliminary general public  policy implications are offered in the concluding section  of the study.},
