Fever and health-seeking behaviour among migrants living along the Thai-Myanmar border: a mixed-methods study.

Background: Fever is a common reason to seek healthcare in Southeast Asia, and the decline of malaria has complexified how is perceived, and what actions are taken towards it. We investigated the concept of fever and the determinants influencing health-seeking behaviours among migrants on the Thai-Myanmar border, where rapid economic development collides with precarious political and socio-economic conditions.

Methods: We implemented a mixed-methods study between August to December 2019.
