Abstract	:	Malaria is a major global health concern and although there are anti-malarial drugs and preventative measures available, this infectious disease is still the third leading cause of death for pregnant Nigerian women. This research study quantitatively utilized secondary data to help evaluate the relationship between malaria and the health-seeking behavior of pregnant Nigerian women. Secondary data was provided by the Demographic and Health Survey program, allowing this study to analyze the relationship between pregnant Nigerian women and their knowledge about malaria signs and symptoms, preventive malaria measures, how serious they perceive malaria to be, and how the previously listed factors impact their health-seeking behaviors. The results indicated that pregnant Nigerian women with increased knowledge in regard to malaria signs and symptoms and preventative methods, as well as those perceiving malaria as a serious infectious disease were all statistically significant in whether or not the women sought health-seeking treatment for malaria during their pregnancy.
