Medical pluralism predicts non-ART use among patients in need of ART: a community survey in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

Medical pluralism predicts non-ART use among patients in need of ART: a community survey in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

This study quantitatively assesses whether medical pluralism predicts ART use among parents in need of ART in South Africa.
