Perceptions of drug users and community gate keepers on the causes and consequences of synthetic drug use in Kunming
Synthetic drug use (SDU) is on the rise in China. Utilizing a grounded three-level social-ecological theoretical model, we aim to better understand how users, medical professionals, and other community gatekeepers perceive the causes and consequences of synthetic drug use in Kunming, China. Past work typically relies on drug users confined to rehabilitation facilities. Utilizing qualitative methods, our work integrates how various community actor…

Prevalence and correlates of HIV unsafe sex and STIs among women working in China's entertainment industry
Female entertainment workers in China are at risk of sexually acquiring HIV, but risk factors of their unsafe sex remain understudied. Using information from a venue-based sample of 724 female entertainment workers in Shanghai, this paper examines the prevalence and risk factors of unsafe sex and STIs. While both measures of unsafe sex and history of common STIs suggest that participants in this study appear to have lower rates of unsafe sex and …
The efficacy of a peer-assisted multi-component behavioral intervention among female entertainment workers in China
Women working in China's entertainment industry are at increased risk of acquiring or transmitting HIV/sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Efforts to develop effective risk-reduction interventions for female entertainment workers (FEWs) remain limited. We conducted a randomized controlled trial of a theory-based risk-reduction intervention among FEWs in Shanghai. The intervention condition consisted of small group, peer-assisted sessions inte…
Migration, Urbanization, and Drug Use and Casual Sex in China
Using data from a survey conducted in 2003 and employing multilevel modeling, this paper examines the impact of migration and urbanization on drug abuse and casual sex in China. The results suggest that being a migrant predicts significantly higher odds of having casual sex but lower odds of drug abuse. Living in an urban place is a significant risk factor for both illicit drug use and casual sex. There are significant cross-community (primary sa…
Temporary Migration and STD/HIV Risky Sexual Behavior
The link between migration and STD/HIV risky sexual behavior has been well documented. Research of risky sexual behavior that addresses the issue of gender-migration interaction or employs a multilevel perspective is still limited in China. Using data from a probability survey and applying multilevel modeling, this paper examines gender differences in (1) the link between migration and risky sexual behavior and (2) individual and community correl…
Gender, Migration, Risky Sex, and HIV Infection in China
Gender differences in sexual behavior as a consequence of migration have been ignored in both the migration and the HIV literature in China. This study examines differences among temporary migrants in terms of sexual behavior and factors that make female migrants more vulnerable to the risk of acquiring HIV infection. Results suggest that the interplay of migration and gender renders female temporary migrants particularly vulnerable to engaging i…
Temporary Migration and HIV Risk Behaviors in China
The link between migration and HIV/AIDS is well documented. Theoretical work to understand the behavioral mechanisms underlying migrants' HIV risk behaviors is limited. In most studies migration is viewed as a virus carrier and population mixer. In this paper I present a framework conceptualizing the link between temporary migration and migrants' heightened HIV risk behaviors. Data from a large and population-based survey conducted in 2003 in sou…
Prevalence and Correlates of HIV Risk Behaviors among Drug Users in China
Temporary Migration and the Spread of STDs/HIV in China
Using data from the literature and a specially designed community-level survey, this article examines the link between temporary migration and the spread of HIV/STDs in China. The results suggest that temporary migrants not only are overrepresented among people with STD/HIV risk-taking behaviors, but also account for disproportionately more STD patients and persons infected with HIV. It is imperative that STD and AIDS prevention intervention and …
Are temporary migrants escapees of the one-child-per-family population policy
Using Hubei province as a case study, this paper retests the detachment hypothesis against the three conventional hypotheses regarding migration-fertility linkage (i.e., selectivity, disruption, and adaptation hypotheses) in explaining migrant and non-migrant fertility differentials in China. The analysis of yearly order-specific birth probabilities suggests that temporary migrants exhibit a significantly higher probability of having a second or …
The Fertility Impact of Temporary Migration in China
Determinants of Migration Intentions in Hubei Province, China
The author examines the determinants of migration intentions in Hubei province in central China. The analysis suggests that temporary migrants are more likely to migrate than are comparable permanent migrants or nonmigrants. The results also indicate that males are more likely to migrate as individuals than are females. Although age has a great deterrent impact on family migration, being married shows a much greater negative effect on planning an…
Gender Differences in Determinants of Temporary Labor Migration in China
Data from a 1988 migration survey in Hubei province are used to examine gender differences in the determinants of temporary labor migration from a multi-level perspective. We find that community level factors play a key role in temporary labor migration; models omitting community-level variables are poor in predicting temporary labor migration. Significant gender differences exist in determinants of temporary labor migration. For men, temporary l…

The New Economic Policy and Permanent Migration in Zhejiang Province, China
This article examines the impact of economic reforms on the volume and characteristics of permanent migration in Zhejiang Province, China. The data suggest that the new economic policy induced a surge in permanent migration during the post-reform years. Such positive impact of the reform on permanent migration has started to fade away in 1985, as government relaxed its control over residence. Moreover, market mechanisms started playing a more imp…

A Sensitivity Analysis of Repeat Migration Attrition in the Study of Migrant Adjustment
Studies of migrant adjustment often conclude that results apply only to remaining migrants. This paper examines the potential bias in using the difference between remaining migrants and natives as a measure of migrant adjustment. The results document that differences between remaining migrants and natives contain bias caused by attrition due to repeat migration. Such bias is small, however, and is unlikely to change migrant-native comparisons. Un…
Impact of migration on fertility in sub-Saharan Africa
Much lower levels of fertility in urban than rural areas throughout sub-Saharan Africa imply that fertility decline in the region may be facilitated by rapid urbanization and rural-to-urban migration. The present study uses data from Demographic and Health Surveys in six countries--Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Senegal, Togo and Uganda--to assess the impact of long-term rural-urban female migration on fertility. Results of logit analyses indicate that in m…
Household Registration, Economic Reform and Migration
Household Registration, Economic Reform and Migration
This article examines the relationship between the type of household registration and the type of and reasons for migration in China. The results suggest agricultural registration is clearly a deterrent to permanent migration, but it makes no difference with respect to temporary migration. Permanent migrants with agricultural registration predominantly move for noneconomic reasons, but those with nonagricultural registration are more likely motiv…
Population Movement in Zhejiang Province, China
China's urbanization policies include strict control of permanent migration to large cities, but encourage the growth of small cities and towns. Concurrently, temporary migration is widely permitted as a way to stimulate commerce. Data for Zhejiang province indicate that permanent mobility is largely directed toward urban places, that towns gain more than cities and that rural areas experience migration losses. Permanent migrants to urban places …
