Summary: 
A pamphlet, written in both English and mandarin, with information on pap smears. Written by the Vancouver Women's Health Collective (VWHC), it includes a definition of a pap smear, a description of the ways to prepare for a pap smear, an explanation of how a pap smear is done, as well as an explanation of different results one might receive from the doctor after a pap smear has been analyzed. The pamphlet also describes common courses of action if an abnormal pap test is returned, and encourages women to bear in mind that an abnormal pap smear does not necessarily mean that a woman has cancer or precancerous cells.
