【Objective】 To understand and provide references for health care policy aimed at non-resident children, which may help these children to get equal health care service. 【Methods】 219 non-resident children and 217 local children from Beixinjing community were chosen with random cluster sampling. Their parents were surveyed with structured questionnaire. 【Results】 The rate of systematic management of non-resident children was 19.18%, which was lower than that of local children significantly, and the latter's was 80.65%. The level of physical growth and development of non-resident children was inferior than that of local children. Among non-resident children, the proportion of children whose height values were below the 10th percentile was higher than local ones. So was weight. There was difference between parents of non-resident children and local ones for understanding of necessity about physical examination regularly. The knowledge about nutritional diseases and child health care of non-resident parents was less than local parents, except for vaccination. 【Conclusions】 The status of health care among non-resident children is worse than that of local ones, so we should strengthen propaganda about child health care toward non-resident parents. The model of child health care should be changed to localized management model and all non-resident children should get basic and equal heath care service.
