Tribals in transition: decoding health-seeking for modern epidemics: a mixed-method study

Listen to this summary

The study investigates the health-seeking behaviors, facilitators, and barriers to non-communicable disease (NCD) care among tribal communities in rural Telangana, India. It reveals that a significant portion of the population is unaware of NCD screening guidelines and prefers informal healthcare providers, while barriers such as mistrust in public services and financial constraints hinder access to care. The authors advocate for improved NCD screening and continuous care tailored to the needs of tribal populations.
