OBJECTIVE: to identify socioeconomic, demographic and health insurance factors , associated with Pap smear among displaced and host population in the settlement ''Altos de Oriente'', Antioquia, Colombia in 2011. METHODOLOGY: we conducted secondary data analysis of the cross-sectional study ''Historical and socio-demographic description of the settlement Altos de Oriente''. The survey looked at date of last Pap smear, health insurance, and socioeconomic and demographic variables. We performed descriptive analysis and fitted logistic regression models. RESULTS: women of the settlement have low education, low income, and are mostly single mothers. Factors associated with not having a recent Pap were: being between 41 and 49 years of age, not using family planning methods, not having a job, and having only elementary school education or not education. CONCLUSION: efforts to increase coverage of Pap smear in this group of displaced and host population, should focus on women between 41 and 49 years old, housewives and poorly educated.
