ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the utilization of reproductive health services and relating factors among internal migrant population in Beijing,Shanghai and Chongqing.Methods A multi-stage cluster sampling method was adopted in this cross-sectional study,conducted in Beijing,Shanghai and Chongqing from August 2014 to August 2015.Standard methods on statistics and nonlinear canonical correlation were applied.Results Out of the 6 545 internal migrant persons,41.76％ ever used the reproductive health services in the past year.Results from the nonlinear canonical correlation analysis revealed that the utilization of reproductive health services was correlated with the demographic features (rn1 =0.28,P＜ 0.000 1) and characteristics of the population mobility (rb1 =0.21,P＜0.000 1),respectively.For the above said demographic features,canonical variable L1 which represented the demographic features was mainly determined by area,occupation and education attainment.Canonical variable M1 that reflected the utilization of reproductive health services,was mainly determined by factors as free contraceptives,education on contraception/reproductive health,and pregnancy diagnosis/antenatal care.As for the characteristics of the population mobility,canonical variable U1,which represented population mobility characteristics,was mainly determined by factors as purpose of migration,current pattern of residence and the length of annual stay in the area.Again,the canonical variable V1,reflecting the use of reproductive health services was mainly determined by factors as free contraceptives,check-up on reproductive tract infection,education on contraception/reproductive health,and pregnancy diagnosis/antenatal care.Conclusions The utilization of reproductive health services was low among the internal migrant population under study.Responsible departments for health and family planning in those cities should make internal migrants attach importance to reproductive health.

ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the sexuality situation and the influencing factors of 1 732 cases of migrants in Chongqing , and provide the scientific basis for improving the sexual health of migrants and the service level of the relevant departments .Meth‐ods The multi stage random cluster sampling method was used to select the subjects .A total of 1 732 married and unmarried mi‐grants who had sexuality were included into the structured questionnaire survey .The SAS9 .3 software was use to statistical analy‐sis .The χ2 test and Ordinal regression analysis and Logistic regression analysis were use to univariate and multivariate analysis .Re‐sults The communication frequency of sexuality of male migrants was higher than the females ,OR=1 .53(95% CI:1 .24-1 .89);young people had the high communication frequency of sexuality ;the frequency of low education groups lower than higher .The fre‐quency of subjects worked in Hong Kong ,Taiwan ,overseas‐funded enterprises are higher than other workplace .The sexual life fre‐quency of male migrants is higher than the female ,OR=1 .84(95% CI:1 .40-2 .42);the sexual life frequency of low age group was higher than high age group ,the frequency of sexual life in factory workers was lower than the Hong Kong ,Taiwan ,overseas‐funded enterprises workers .Compared with the subjects who communicate the sexuality issues often ,the frequency of sexual depression and suppression was higher in the migrants who communicate general and rarely ,the OR was 2 .75 (95% CI:1 .71 -4 .41) and 2 .60 (95% CI:1 .45-4 .66) .Conclusion Male ,younger ,highly educated migrants have a high sexual issues communication frequency . The age and the workplace was the most important factor of the frequency of sexual life .Ease the work pressure and increase the communication of sexual issues will help to relax the sexual depression and depression .
