East African Journal of Social and Applied Sciences (EAJ-SAS) Vol.1, No.2, pg; 58-70This paper explores health seeking behaviour and its influence on households’ incidences of under-five mortality among agro-pastoralists. The study used a cross-sectional research design whereby a structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 160 agro-pastoralist households. Correlation analysis results showed existence of an association between cultural values, traditional practices, socioeconomic factors and health seeking behaviour. Logistic regression results showed mother’s age, number of children in household and masculinity had significant influences on a household’s health seeking behaviour. Further, the logistic results showed that mother’s age and traditional treatment attendance had significant influences on household’s experience of under-five mortality. The findings showed that the variables influenced individual households to seek treatment from traditional rather than modern health facilities. It is therefore recommended that Health Officials and Community Development Officers should create awareness and promote health services among agro-pastoralists. In addition, the Government and other stakeholders are argued to further educate agro-pastoralists and other rural dwellers to abandon cultural practices and values which contribute to poor health seeking behaviour and lead to higher households’ incidence of under-five mortality
