    Factors associated with mothers’ health care‑seeking behaviours for childhood fever in Burkina Faso: Findings from repeated cross‑sectional household surveys
    (BMC, 2022) Badolo, Hermann; Bado, Aristide R.; Hien, Hervé
    Fever is one of the most frequent reasons for paediatric consultations in Burkina Faso, but health careseeking behaviours and the factors associated with health care-seeking in the event of childhood fever are poorly documented. This study aims to analyse the health care-seeking behaviours and the factors associated with health care-seeking for childhood fever in Burkina Faso. This study used the data from the baseline and endline surveys conducted to evaluate the impact of the Performance-Based Financing program in Burkina Faso. Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analyses were used to identify the factors associated with appropriate healthcare-seeking for childhood fever. Odds ratios were estimated to assess the strength of associations and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used for significance tests. Data were cleaned, coded and analysed using Stata software version 16.1.
