Abstract: Objective: To explore suitable models of the sexual and reproductive health education and service for those unmarried floating people in service industries and factories. Methods: Based on the work places, sexual and reproductive health education and service, including life skills training, sex education materials, reproductive health counseling, and contraceptives, were provided for those unmarried floating people working in different industries. Results:Among subjects working in service industries and factories, 86% and 71% subjects took part in the training course of reproductive health life skills, and 98% and 80% subjects received the sex education materials, respectively. About a quarter of subjects sought for reproductive health counseling, and this frequency in subjects who worked in factories was higher than that in service industries (P<0.05). The counseling questions were also different between subjects in service industries and in factories. Among those subjects who had sexual experience in service industries and factories,22% and 23% subjects sought for the contraceptives service from the work places, respectively. More than 60% of subjects in service industries and about half of subjects in factories thought that the life skills' training was very useful. 85% of subjects in service industries were satisfied with the counseling and contraceptives service very much, while less than 30% of subjects in factories felt satisfying. Conclusions: It is necessary and practical to provide the workplace-based provision of reproductive health education and service for those unmarried floating people. However, the emphasis on content and pattern should be different among those unmarried floating people working in different industries.
