Brief Summary
|
A community-based Cross-sectional study will be
conducted from Dec 2022 – June 2023 in Seven randomly selected villages out of
24 villages in Aalo, West Siang district of Arunachal Pradesh. Based on the
anticipated prevalence of 50%, 95% of the confidence interval, and 5% absolute
precision, a sample size of 423 will be used for the study. A probability
proportional to size (PPS) method will be used to select all 423
samples(households) in 7 randomly selected villages as per population size in
each selected village of Aalo, West Siang district. tribal adults aged 18 years
and above and willing to participate will be included in the study. After the
identification of the participants, written consent will be taken and recorded
after explaining the rationale and importance of the study. 7-10 Participants
will be purposively selected for an in-depth interview. The participants will
be asked Questions based on the prepared questionnaire. The data will be
captured into the Jamovi software 2.0 and then be displayed using graphs, and
descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage) and the Chi-square test will be
applied to find the association between variables.
The study will assess the pattern of health-seeking
behaviour and healthcare utilization in case of acute, chronic and emergency
conditions among the tribal adults in Aalo, Arunachal Pradesh and also provide
further insight into factors impacting health-seeking behaviour and practices
in terms of utilization and barriers to utilization to influence policy formulation,
decision making and targeted service provision planning for the tribal
population of Aalo, Arunachal Pradesh. |
