  abstract = {{I}n the dense literature on health-seeking behaviour in the {A}frican rural environment, contextual aspects, and, more especially, differences between villages, are rarely studied. {T}his article therefore considers the village or group of villages as an aggregate level of analysis, based on a study conducted in the {F}atick region in {S}enegal. {T}he descriptive results show significant variations in therapeutic practices, disease management and health care planning strategies from one village to the next. {A}t different levels, individual health-seeking behaviours appear to be conditioned by a set of collective norms developed by the village community. {T}he spatial analysis shows that these variations in behaviour describe two distinct geographic sets, distinguished by different levels of access to health facilities and different historical, social and cultural characteristics. {T}hese results challenge 14 the validity of a unified approach to the {A}frican rural environment and call for further research to analyse the impact of numerous contextual, quantitative and qualitative factors on health-seeking behaviour.},
