Determinants of Health & Health Seeking Behavior among Families

Background: There have been studies on morbidity patterns among families, but no study has been undertaken on health determinants and health seeking behavior of the people of Kerala especially in Kozhikode. All diseases can be prevented or modified if we address the lifestyle and determinants of health among families. And thus, investigating the broader contextual issues can help us improve the health services offered and see if their health needs are met or not.
