Abstract
Background: Health seeking behaviour includes all those behaviour associated with establishing and retaining a healthy state, plus aspects of dealing with the departure from that state, which can generally be improved by health care financing and insurance.

Most respondents (59.5%) had heard about NHIIS. Most (70.7%) had good attitude towards NHIS and had the desire to enroll under NHIS (70.3%), mostly because of Subsidization of health care cost. Only 13.3% of the respondents are registered with NHIS. The most of the population visit chemist shops when ill (31.2%), however, majority of NHIS enrollees go to hospitals to seek care. None of those enrolled go to health centers, pharmacies, and home of health workers. 90.1% agreed that their health seeking behaviour will improve if enrolled under NHIS.Conclusions: Index population has inadequate awareness and low practice of the NHIS also with long run impact on the health seeking behaviour of residents of Unguwar soya community.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
