Title Statement Folk healthcare seeking behaviors among selected residents of Marikina City Physical Description 26-35 Summary, Etc. This study explored how folk medicine healthcare seeking behavior manifests through the low and middle- income socio-economic classes within Marikina. Case study approach was employed to pin down pathways and mechanisms between causes and effects of such behaviors. Informed consent was given to all six participants who were purposefully chosen according to the inclusion criteria that they 1) should use folk medicine, and 2) belong to either low or middle-income class as set by the National Statistics Coordinating Body. Results reveal that regardless of family income and available resources for healthcare, participants sought folk healthcare because of trust, genuine concern, and faith in the healer's capacity to heal and influence of family. These human drives occur within the participant's individual experiences and context that folk practitioners can facilitate referrals for allopathic medicine while allopathic practitioners have the potential to explore and recommend folk treatments from trusted practitioners Subject Added Entry - Topical Term MEDICINE, TRADITIONAL   FOLK MEDICINE   TRADITIONAL MEDICINE   FOLK HEALTH CARE   MEDICINE, TRADITIONAL           Physical Location           Digital Copy Not Available          Add to Book Cart  |   Download MARC
