As human papillomavirus (HPV) self-sampling continues to emerge as a potential cervical cancer screening strategy in the United States, it is necessary to examine women's acceptability of this screening approach. Furthermore, since several HPV self-sampling devices exist, it is important to determine if women's preferences differ by device type. We conducted an online survey in Fall 2017 with a national sample of women (n=605) ages 21-65 years (the recommended age range for cervical cancer screening). Multivariable linear regression identified correlates of women's willingness to use an HPV self-sample at home. We used repeated measures analysis of variance to determine if preferences differed across four self-sampling devices: Evalyn((R)) Brush (Device A), HerSwab((R)) (Device B), Catch-All((R)) Swab (Device C), and Qvintip((R)) (Device D). Most women were willing to use an HPV self-sample at home (mean=4.03 [possible range: 1-5], standard deviation=1.09, 72.7% indicated probably willing or definitely willing). The most common concerns about self-sampling were related to test accuracy (53.1%) and obtaining the sample incorrectly (51.1%). Women were more willing to use an HPV self-sample at home if they reported greater perceived severity of cervical cancer (=0.16), reported an annual income less than $50,000 (=0.13), or were a former smoker (=0.11). Women were more willing to use Device A (mean=3.72, 67.6% indicated agree or strongly agree), Device C (mean=3.86, 73.9% indicated agree or strongly agree), and Device D (mean=3.81, 72.1% indicated agree or strongly agree) than Device B (mean=3.36, 49.4% indicated agree or strongly agree; all p
