Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) in children in Ethnic Minority Communities of Chittagong Hill Tracts, Bangladesh: A qualitative study by Maidul Alam Chaklader

“…Despite the widespread tendency to consider folk beliefs in binary opposition to biomedical causes, findings from this study show that both consider proximate and underlying factors related to childhood ARI and many of these underlying factors that render children more susceptible to ARI are actually common to both models. Treatment-seeking behaviour is a complex process represented by shifting interpretations of the illness and treatment options and constrained by poverty and other structural factors that set the context in which study participants operate on a daily basis. …”
