4. INTRODUCTION
Reproductive health (RH) has always been a public
heath concern, which determines the entire nation's
quality.
In developing countries, female migrants are the most
vulnerable group in receiving health care services and
have low RH knowledge. They are assumed to have
extremely limited autonomy and accessibility to RH
services.

5. RATIONALE
“Aims to provide scientific evidence that can help
government develop appropriate plans and policies
resulting from the RH knowledge and service
provision improvement for the married rural-to-
urban.”

6. A face-to-face structured
questionnaire survey was used, with
primary focus on RH service
utilization.
A cross-sectional survey was
conducted between July 1,
2011 to December 15, 2012 in
cities in China, Wuhan and
Shenzhen. METHODOLOGY
SAMPLE SIZE
DATA SAMPLING
A total of 1021 rural-to-urban
married migrants were invited to
participate, with 997 valid survey
results obtained.
A purposive sampling method
was performed.
DATA COLLECTION
STUDY DESIGN

7. DEMOGRAPHICS
Over half (67.5%) of the married migrants' educational levels were in
junior school or high school standard, with 25.5% at the college level
and above standard.
Most participants of married migrants (75.3%) were above 30 years
old with less than 10 years work experience (56.5%).
FINDINGS/RESULT
S

8. A large proportion of participants were found to be working
with trade, service industry, and food (39.5%), others to
have temporary jobs (14.0%), and those serving as
decorators and architects (11.3%).
Many of the migrants (52.5%) had an average monthly

9. RH Service Utilization
RH Consultation
The results showed that the RH service
utilization (38.0%) was at a low level in
married migrants and the accessibility of
RH service was poor.
Females who migrated to Wuhan
obtained fewer RH consultations
than those in Shenzhen.
FINDINGS/RESULT
S

10. Educational attainment had a significant positive effect
on RH consultation and RH checkup services, that is,
the higher their education level, the higher the
utilization of RH services.
The age group ranging from 25-29 received the most
RH education, but with the least RH checkup service.
The RH consultation service and checkup service
above 30 were higher than those from the age of 18-
24

12. CONCLUSION
“Study concludes that the utilization of
RH services in married female
migrants remains at a low level in
China. “

via the relevant health departments by
enhancing the responsibility of maternal
and health care in the community
health service center.
