The Role of Parents and Family Networks in Adolescent Health‐Seeking in Ethiopia

Abstract

Objective: This study examines the roles of parents, extended kin, and exchange networks in adolescent health-seeking behavior in Ethiopia. Background: Prior studies highlight the role of mothers in children's health, whereas fathers, extended kin, and other network partners remain largely unexamined. The gender intensification hypothesis suggests that adolescents gravitate toward same-gender parents for advice and assistance with health-related issues. A more expansive view of the hypothesis suggests that other same-gender adults may also be important sources of support. Method: Survey data were used from a random sample of 2,084 youth ages 13 to 17 collected in urban and rural communities in southwestern Ethiopia. Sources of advice, treatment, and accompaniment to get treatment were examined. Random intercept logistic regression models were used to identify factors associated with receipt of formal health care.
