![]() With the opening of China’s Universal Two-Child Policy, women aged 20–39 years, at the peak of sexual activity and fertility, will face more reproductive health problems related to pregnancy, especially in less-developed rural areas. There is an increasing concern about reproductive health problems in developing countries. More specific interventions promoting reproductive health and targeting rural women aged 20–39 years are needed. ConclusionĪ poor reproductive health situation and low level of health knowledge were found among women aged 20–39 years in rural China. Factors associated with lower knowledge levels were lower education, no history of gynecopathy, and lack of acquiring knowledge from medical staff, WeChat/micro-blog, or the internet. Over half of the respondents (53.00%) were classified as having a low reproductive health knowledge score. Condoms and intrauterine devices were the main contraceptive measures used, and 28.70% of women had a history of induced abortion. One-third of the participants reported that they had suffered from gynecopathy, and 38.89% of participants with gynecopathy-related discomfort did not seek medical treatment. A descriptive summary of the data and logistic regression were used to identify associated factors. The data were entered into Epidata version 3.0, and analyzed using SPSS version 18.0. The data were collected using pre-tested and structured questionnaires through face-to-face interviews. MethodsĪ cross-sectional study was conducted in five villages of five cities in China. ![]() ![]() This study aimed to investigate the current reproductive health status, knowledge, and factors associated with reproductive health knowledge among women aged 20–39 years in rural China. Thus, women aged 20–39 years, at the peak of sexual activity and fertility, will face more reproductive health problems related to pregnancies and births. With the implementation of the Universal Two-Child Policy in 2016, every couple is allowed to have two children instead of one, which will lead to more pregnancies, births, and advanced maternal age. Since 1980, China has enforced a “one child” policy. Reproductive health is the core science of human life and is critical to the healthy and sustainable development of human society. ![]()
