Abstract Objective: To explore the awareness of contraceptive knowledge and influence factors among migrant women in Guangzhou. Methods: A random cluster sampling method was adopted in the study. A total of 1108 migrant women were investigated with a questionnaire in Haizhu District, Baiyun District and Zengcheng District of Guangzhou. Results: About 85.92% of the respondents used contraception; 88.81% thought they knew more about contraceptives. But the average score of the relevant knowledge questionnaire was 5.24 (the total score was 10). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed influence factors of the awareness of contraceptive knowledge were the educational level and the history of artificial abortion (P<0.05). Conclusion: The contraceptive knowledge of migrant women is inadequate and the demand for contraceptive knowledge is very urgent in Guangzhou. It is important to improve appropriate methods for the education on contraceptive knowledge for special population.
