Among these decreases among tribes as the level of education increases. Moreover, health status varied based on occupational status, with individuals engaged in farming (68%) being more susceptible to falling ill, sick, or diseased compared to those employed in government jobs (44%). Similarly, those who were widowed (69%) had a higher incidence of falling ill within the past 365 days compared to those who were unmarried (53%). Additionally, individuals who consumed water from wells (65%), tube wells (63%), and hand pumps (61%) reported the highest incidence of illness.

These locations were categorized as either public healthcare facilities (such as SHCs, PHCs, CHCs, and other public healthcare centers) or private healthcare services. The study found __ that approximately 40 percent of the tribes sought treatment from public healthcare centers, while around 58 percent of tribes utilized private clinics or hospitals. This suggests that public healthcare services are underutilized by both tribal and non-tribal populations.

In addition to these, tribes reported other reasons such as lack of belief in public healthcare services (27%), unavailability of required medicine at public centers (20%), distance and _ transport problems (23%) and _ unavailability of services nearby (18%). The study also revealed some behavioral practice-related reasons between service providers and beneficiaries (10%).
