INTRA III project description
What is INTRA III
The main objective of the INTRA III study is to identify and investigate the health and non-health seeking behaviors and practices of non-users of public PHC delivery services. In specific, INTRA III attempts to:
- describe and understand the real and perceived barriers to access PHC services among the non-users of PHC.
- generate insights into what alternative forms of care are sought, if any and develop appropriate mechanisms for their integration into the PHC system.
Data generated from INTRA III focus group research in 12 countries will serve to:
- develop evidence-based strategies that will make PHC services of the public sector more appropriate, accessible and responsive to the unmet needs of the current nonusers of the government-provided health services
- formulate country specific, regional and global recommendations for a comprehensive policy on an integrated primary health care encompassing social and family care within the scope of the respective national health care systems.
