BackgroundThe national essential public health service (NEPHS) has been in operation for more than a decade. Numerous studies examined the utilization of NEPHS by migrants and the factors that influence it, but few examined the effect of NEPHS awareness and utilization on the health of inhabitants, particularly migrants. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the level of awareness and utilization of NEPHS, as well as to examine their health-improving effects on migrants.MethodsBased on the data from the 2017 China Migrants Dynamic Survey, linear probability model, ordered logit model and the propensity score matching methods were employed to investigate impact of awareness and utilization of NEPHS on the health among Chinese migrants. Mediating effect model were used to identify the mechanism of the impact of NEPHS on health.ResultsThe findings indicated that migrants' awareness and utilization of NEPHS are still insufficient. After adjusting for other factors, the study discovered that increased awareness and use of NEPHS had a beneficial influence on migrants' self-rated health. Further heterogeneity analysis revealed significant disparities in the health consequences of NEPH
