    Determinants of health care use and mothers' preventative and curative health care practices in Burkina Faso
    (University of the Western Cape, 2022) Badolo, Hermann; Susuman, Sathiya A.
    In about two-thirds of all countries in sub-Saharan Africa, low coverage of effective interventions to prevent maternal and child deaths has been attributed to both weaknesses in the supply and demand for health services. These interventions require access to and use of health services. Conceptually, the availability, quality of health care, financial and geographical accessibility, socio-economic and demographics factors and cultural barriers are the main factors associated with health care use. These associated factors and the causes of low utilization of health services have been studied by several authors in Burkina Faso and other countries, often from the point of view of health care demand or supply.

    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.
