Care-seeking patterns, by county. In addition to the national-level patient-pathway analysis, the patient-pathway analysis was completed at the subnational level for each of the 47 counties in Kenya. The figure depicts the diversity of care-seeking patterns across each of these counties. Care-seeking data for 44 of 47 counties was provided by a question in the 2013 Kenya Household Health Expenditure and Utilization Survey (HHEUS) that asked participants where they sought care for tuberculosis and other respiratory illnesses [13]. The HHEUS was missing data for 3 counties. Data for these counties were provided by the 2014 Demographic and Health Survey (DHS), which asked patients where they sought care for a human immunodeficiency virus test [14]. Each of these care-seeking data sets was categorized to common sector and level categories as described in this articles.
