N2  - Background:

A key factor driving the development and maintenance of antibacterial resistance (ABR) is individuals’ use of antibiotics (ABs) to treat illness. It is therefore crucial to understand the dynamics of patient treatment-seeking-where patients go when unwell, what motivates choice, and treatments they obtain. Developing a better understanding of social inequalities of antibiotic use in low resource settings has been identi ed as a research priority, as has understanding pluralistic healthcare landscapes, but so far robust multi-country mixed methods data has been lacking. This paper aims to investigate patterns and determinants of patient treatment-seeking pathways, and how they intersect with AB use in East Africa, a region where ABR-attributable deaths are exceptionally high
