However, it is not clear whether the earlie…
Assessing Barriers and Utilization of Sexual and Reproductive Health Services among Female Migrant Workers in Vietnam
Young migrant women workers frequently experience disparities in accessing health services, including sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, especially in urban settings.

Such interventions should use insights from this study to address factors facilitating HIV testing among industrial zones' women migrant workers
