Figure. Adjusted prevalence ratios (APRs) and 95% confidence intervals
(CIs) for receipt of cervical cancer screening, by insurance status and
stratified by race/ethnicity and age, for women in selected Oregon and
California OCHIN-affiliated community health centers, from 2008 through 2010
(N = 11,560). Adjusted prevalence ratios are significant at the α = .05
level if the 95% confidence interval does not contain 1.00.
