Analysis on reproductive health service, demographics and characteristics of internal migrant population in three municipalities of China / 中华流行病学杂志

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.

Effects of family planning factors on the awareness of sexual and reproductive healthcare rights among married women of reproductive age in China: a cross sectional study.

OBJECTIVES: Although family planning in China has changed gradually since 1994, there are few studies about family planning and women's reproductive rights. The main objective of this study was to examine awareness of sexual and reproductive healthcare rights (SRHCRs), and learn how factors related to family planning influence awareness of SRHCRs among married women of reproductive age in China. METHODS AND PARTICIPANTS: Inner Mongolia, Chongqing, Guangdong and Henan were selected for the study, and a total of 2504 married women of reproductive age were recruited. A self-administered anonymous questionnaire was used to collect information on participants' awareness of SRHCRs. RESULTS: There were a total of 10 843 (≤6×2504) responses, with a response rate of 72.17% (10 843/15 024) on average among participants regarding SRHCRs (a multiple response set). The highest response rate was for choice (Right 3) (90.64%, 95% CI 89.47%, 91.81%), followed by privacy (Right 5) (86.11%, 95% CI 84.72%, 87.50%) and information (Right 1) (84.47%, 95% CI 83.02%, 85.93%). Only 43.39% (95% CI 41.40%, 45.38%) of participants gave responses to safety (Right 4). Participants without children showed more interest in Right 1, in access (Right 2) and in Right 4. Those who utilised tests for fetal sex determination paid more attention to Rights 2 and 4. Women who accepted informed choice were more likely to be aware of all six rights except for Right 3 and dignity (Right 6). Those individuals who were satisfied or very satisfied with comprehensive sexual and reproductive health counselling services were more likely to show interest in all six rights. CONCLUSIONS: Awareness of SRHCRs among reproductive aged women in China is still inadequate. Family planning service providers might strengthen the service awareness of sex and reproductive health rights according to the different needs of women.
