Abstract:

Data was collected in household survey conducted in the 2 rural districts of Thyolo and Chiradzulu in southern Malawi. The main purpose of the study was to determine the factors that influence health seeking behaviour of people with chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) as well as the costs related to NCDs. The main areas covered in the survey were household socio economic status, demographic information of all houshold members, presence of NCDs and health seeking behaviour during the last 4 weeks. Major variables include: age, sex, household expenditure, self reported NCD, nature of NCD, symptoms of NCD, treatment at formal care facility and related costs. GPS coordinates were collected to calculate straight line distance from households to the nearest public health facility.
