Influence of community norms on caregivers’ early care-seeking behaviour for under-5 children with fever in Guinea, a secondary analysis study

These findings suggest that interventions aimed at changing behaviour in Guinea can significantly benefit from reinforcing community norms around early care-seeking for children under five with fever. Using mothers who take their children to a health facility as soon as the fever develops as role models can encourage others in the community. More efforts are needed in Boké, Kindia and Labé.

Abstract

These findings suggest that interventions aimed at changing behaviour in Guinea can significantly benefit from reinforcing community norms around early care-seeking for children under five with fever. Using mothers who take their children to a health facility as soon as the fever develops as role models can encourage others in the community. More efforts are needed in Boké, Kindia and Labé.
