Design A multisite, cross-sectional study design, conducted from November 2017 to January 2018. Methods A total of 465 women with prior GDM were included from two county-level hospitals in rural China. The potential influencing factors for postpartum blood glucose screening based on Andersen's behavioural model, including predisposing, enabling, and need factors, were collected by self-reported questionnaires. Chi-square tests and logistic regression were used to explore the influence of these factors on whether screening of blood glucose level after delivery occurred. Results The mean age of the women was 31.92 years old (SD 5.16) and the mean time after delivery was 16.73 months (SD 15.07). The postpartum glucose screening proportion was 32.7%. Women who did not have a full-time job (p= .011) (predisposing factor), had not received any treatment for GDM (p= .002), and were not informed about screening plans for diabetes by health professionals (p .05). Conclusions In rural China, most women with prior GDM were not screened for T2DM after delivery. The women with prior GDM who did not have a full-time job or had not received any prior treatment for GDM should be the target population for health education on postpartum glucose screening. Impact There is a need for data on postpartum blood glucose testing rates among rural women. Future interventions aimed at increasing postpartum blood glucose screening are needed.During the COVID-19 pandemic, the world witnessed varied responses from educational institutions to the lockdown. Within the next few years, we will see the consequences of these responses. Despite the disruption at
