Musculoskeletal disorders are work-related injuries that affect artisans in their working years. Studies have established the healthcare-seeking behaviour of artisans as poor and associated factors understudied. Understanding the factors that determine healthcare-seeking behaviour of this population would help improve their productivity, 
quality of life and skilled healthcare-seeking behaviour. This study therefore investigated factors associated with healthcare-seeking behaviour of artisans in Alimosho LGA, Lagos State. A cross-sectional study design using multi-stage sampling was utilized, 427 respondents were selected purposively. A validated, structured and interviewer--administered questionnaire with Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.79 was used in data collection. Data was analyzed using IBM SPSS 23.0 to generate descriptive and inferential statistics at P < 0.05 level of significance. The mean age of respondents was 38.5 ± 11.18 years. A high level of predisposing factors, low levels of reinforcing factor, enabling factor and poor healthcare-seeking behaviour (16.95 ± 2.94, 5.86 ± 2.64, 6.39 ± 3.40 and 7.34 ± 2.40 respectively) was observed among them. There was a significant relationship (p = 0.000) between each independent variable and healthcare-seeking behaviour (r = 0.20, 0.26, and 0.30). The most significant predictor of healthcareseeking behaviour of the artisans was the enabling factor (ß = 0.16; t = 4.66). The predisposing, reinforcing and enabling factors were determinants of healthcare-seeking behaviour among the artisans in this study. It is recommended that these factors be employed in the campaign of health improvement by public health professionals in order to improve healthcare-seeking behaviour of artisans.
