METHODS: The descriptive, cross-sectional design included a convenience sample of Mexican women with a previous diagnosis of cervical dysplasia. RESULTS: Women (n = 61) were young adults (M = 27 years, SD = 6.92) reporting single marital status (55%) and sexually active (93%). Mean age at onset of sexual activity was 17 years; a majority of women (78.8%) had more than one sexual partner in their lifetime with 56.6% reporting between two and five partners. All (100%) of the women indicated that they would "choose self-sampling for HPV detection" and would recommend it to other women. Concerning "attitudes toward HPV," the women responded that it is necessary to comply with HPV treatment and understand that preventative measures can avoid HPV transmission. CONCLUSION: Women reported high acceptability for self-sampling and positive attitudes toward HPV diagnostic procedures. Women indicated substantial interest in learning more about HPV, its transmission, preventive measures, routine testing, and recommended self-sampling for HPV detection.
