Studies in the northern part of Ethiopia showed high prevalence of undiagnosed cluster of tuberculosis cases within the community which demanded an investigation of the health care seeking behaviour of tuberculosis suspects.
A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Lay Armachiho district, Northwest Ethiopia.
Individuals who had cough for at least two weeks and aged greater than or equal to 15 years were included in the study.
Data were collected by interview using pretested and structured questionnaire.
Logistic regression was computed and adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was calculated.
Out of the total population surveyed (29, 735), 663 (2.2%) individuals were found to be pulmonary tuberculosis suspects.
Majority of the suspects reported that they had visited a modern health care facility.
Those aged 15 to 34 and aged 35–54 had secondary educational level and above; those who were civil servants, those who were farmers, those who had previous history of tuberculosis treatment, and those who perceived that they were sick were more likely to visit a modern health care facility.
The proportion of respondents who had taken traditional measures was found to be higher than some other districts.
Improving the socioeconomic status of the community is recommended.
