Participants were recruited from urban and rural areas. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire in Moroccan Arabic dialect covering sociodemographic characteristics, awareness of the HPV infection, cervical cancer, HPV vaccine, and decision\u2010making processes.

While a high proportion of participants demonstrated awareness of cervical cancer severity (92.3%), fewer correctly identified the link between HPV infection and cervical cancer (25.5%) or were aware of existence of the HPV vaccine (31.7%). Only 16.4% of young adult women reported being solely responsible for the vaccination decision\u2010making. Religious and cultural beliefs were identified as barriers to vaccine acceptance. HPV vaccination status was significantly associated with monthly income (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.049), knowledge of HPV infection (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.0001), knowledge of HPV transmission, and awareness of its link to cervical cancer (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001).
