In Mexico a woman is diagnosed with cervical cancer every 2 hours. An extensive ten-year historical review of the research into Mexico's problem found these investigations are mostly quantitative in nature focusing primarily on evaluating the quality of cervical screening programs. A lack of a strong qualitative approach focusing on the cultural determinants of cervical cancer screening decision making exists. <italic>Methodology</italic>. An ethnographic study with its ability to bring forth-relational theory and cultural knowledge was chosen. <italic>Conclusions</italic>. Cultural knowledge was gained from 13 Mexican women who resided in San Quintin and Tijuana, Mexico through the analysis of 3 domains and the discovery of 2 themes. Domain I defined the woman's model of health and illness. Domain II discussed the influential factors to obtain a Pap smear. Domain III explored the change in women's perception of self worth. Theme One identified that Mexican women make health care decisions with the support and guidance of their social group. Theme two identified that the positive image of women in the media has an influence on health care decisions. Qualitative research can aid in understanding the dynamics of cultural expression on health and illness.
