Objective To investigate the status and main influencing factors of health record establishment and health education participation in migrant population in Hubei province and to provide evidences for promoting the equalization of basic public health service in the province.
Methods We used data extracted from Dynamic Monitoring Survey among Migrants in Hubei Province – 2017. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze associated factors of basic public health service utilization.
Results Of the 4 726 migrants who had lived in local areas for more than a half of a year, 46.0% had their health records established in local communities and 81.9% received at least one health education program. Distributions of health related information via conventional publicity material, bulletin board and electronic signs were main forms of health education. Factors influencing health records establishment included female gender (odds ratio OR = 1.388, 95% confidence interval 95% CI: 1.162 – 1.659) and duration of migration of ≥ one year (OR = 1.643, 95% CI: 1.120 – 2.409). Age (OR = 0.883, 95% CI: 0.828 – 0.942), married (OR = 1.895, 95% CI: 1.307– 2.747) and residing in rural area temporarily (OR = 0.444, 95% CI: 0.214 – 0.919) influenced the participation in health education.
Conclusion For the migrants in Hubei province, the utilization of basic public health services is inadequate; the rate of health record establishment is low; and the contents and means of health education are monotonous although the participation rate is relatively high.
