Abstract

Migrants who participated in social organizations were 1.467 times more likely to establish health records than those who did not.

  • Participation in social organizations was associated with a higher likelihood of receiving health education information (OR 1.729).
  • Engagement in social activities was linked to establishing health records specifically in urban communities (OR 1.853).
  • A positive association was found between participation in social activities and receiving health education information among migrants living in areas with a higher percentage of local neighbors (OR 1.451).
  • Structural social capital may influence the use of public health services among domestic migrants in China, indicating varying effects based on neighborhood characteristics.
