Abstract
This study utilized a cross sectional research design. Two hundred ten (210) families were selected by simple random sampling from the population of families with children, experiencing common illness. Interview method guided by a set of questions was utilized in collecting data. Chi-sqaure was used in determining the relationship between the sociodemographic factors and health seeking behaviors of families in Brgy. Zone I-A, Dasmarinas, Cavite. From the interpreted data, it can be concluded that (1) educational attainment of the primary caregiver had no association with the health seeking behavior of the family; (2) ownership of a health insurance by the primary caregiver had no association with the health seeking behavior of the family and; (3) socioeconomic status of the family had an association with the health seeking behavior of the family.
