Women's attitudes towards screening have been shown to be a determining factor in the incidence of cervical cancer and breast cancer, which is a clear public health problem.The aim of this study was to identify the factors associated with women's adherence to sexual and reproductive health surveillance; to analyze the extent to which women's knowledge of self-examination and cervical cancer and lifestyle are related to adherence to sexual and reproductive health surveillance.Decision-making related to the adoption of health behaviors implies a prior analysis of the variables associated with it. Thus, medical recommendations for breast self-examination and cytology, each woman's health beliefs, lifestyle and other socio-demographic characteristics should be taken into account by health professionals when promoting women's sexual and reproductive health.
