“…According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics of China, in 2020, the total number of minority migrants nationwide reached 33.71 million, an increase of 25.47 million compared to the year 2000, representing a staggering growth of 309.1%. Due to the risks associated with frequent mobility, the vulnerability of migrant employment, the challenges of urban integration, and the continuity of social security, minority migrants are prone to health risks [ 1 – 3 ]. Previous studies have found that the quantity and quality of public health services provided to rural migrants are insufficient, leading to serious concerns about their health conditions [ 4 – 7 ].…”

“…Some studies further explore the influencing factors of health service utilization rates among mobile people, including minority rural migrants. From the persrpective of public service policies themselves, whether health service projects are charged has a complex impact on the coverage, utilization rates, and social costs of health services [ 3 , 26 , 27 ]. In comparison to the abundant literature focusing on the utilization and influencing factors of public health services, there is relatively less research on the impact of health rights accessibility.…”

Background Accessing health rights is an integral component of people’s aspirations for a better life. Existing discussions and evaluations regarding the accessibility of health rights for minority rural migrants are insufficient. In comparison to objective health conditions, inequalities in health rights lead to chronic and long-term depletion of human capital among minority rural migrants. This study aimed to assess the overall impact, heterogeneity effects, and mechanisms of health rights accessibility on the urban integration of minority rural migrants. Methods Based on the 2017 China Migrants Dynamic Survey Data (CMDS), this study employs OLS models, 2SLS models, conditional mixed process (CMP) methods, and omitted variable tests to estimate the impact of health rights accessibility on the urban integration of minority rural migrants. Additionally, from the perspectives of migration scope and illness experience, this study explored the heterogeneity in the relationship between health rights accessibility and urban integration. Finally, using the Karlson–Holm–Breen (KHB) model, this study dissects the mechanisms through which health rights accessibility influences the urban integration of minority rural migrants. Results Health rights accessibility significantly enhances the urban integration of minority rural migrants. Moreover, compared to minority rural migrants who move across provinces and who have no history of illness, those who migrate within the same province and who have experienced illness are more sensitive to the positive impact of health rights accessibility. However, the enhancing effect of health rights accessibility does not significantly differ between the new and old generations of minority rural migrants. Furthermore, health rights accessibility can indirectly improve the urban integration of minority rural migrants by elevating health levels, improving health habits, and reinforcing health behaviors. Among these, the indirect effects mediated by health habits are more pronounced. Conclusion The research conclusions underscore the issue of health accessibility and urban integration among minority rural migrants, providing a reexamination and clarification of the policy effects of health rights in promoting the urban integration of minority rural migrants. Relevant policy design should commence with improving the health rights of minority rural migrants, enhancing their health integration capabilities, and effectively boosting their ability to integrate into urban life.
