The findings showed that there is significant association between cost of healthcare services and health-seeking behavior (p-value < 0.05). Also, there is significant association between quality of healthcare received and health-seeking behavior (p-value <0.05). The findings also indicated that there is significance association between standard of living and health-seeking behavior (p-value < 0.05). Based on the study, health-seeking behaviors depend on the cost of health services, the quality of health services, and the individual standard of living.
