The dataset contains the data of a cross-sectional household survey performed in three states (Central Equatoria, Western Equatoria and Warrap) of South Sudan between January and March 2021. The data was collected as part of a larger mixed methods study on access to healthcare in South Sudan. The aim of the current project was to identify which determinants are associated with seeking care for perceived health needs and with seeking care at private or public healthcare facilities in South Sudan. Both individual and household level characteristics were collected based on the framework of access to healthcare of Levesque et al. The most important findings of our analysis were that socioeconomic status and awareness of CHWs were associated with health seeking, while distance to facilities was associated with choice of facility. Furthermore, our results suggest differences in patterns of health seeking behaviour between the three states.
