"This study examines how family members and other people involved in the welfare of children respond to signs of illness in young children in the Haute Guinée region of Guinea. In the communities of the Haute Guinée, where three-fourths of all cases of illness are treated in the home, careseeking choices at home determine what treatments a child receives. Data were gathered from Konindou, a large village in the region, to identify the treatment options local people use to improve child health."--P. 1.
