Pursuing policymakers, payors and public – expanding the beginning and end of the tuberculosis care cascade to reflect whole-of-society ambitions
Detection of pulmonary tuberculosis through mobile X-ray based active case-finding in Pakistan
Recent evidence suggests that community-wide active case finding (ACF) can reduce tuberculosis (TB) incidence and prevalence. Mass-screening at the community level, supported by mobile digital chest X-ray units, is now being scaled up by programmes across high burden countries. However, there is limited evidence of case-detection yields from programmes conducting ACF at scale in low-resource settings. We retrospectively analysed aggregate data fr…
Policies, practices, opportunities and challenges for tuberculosis screening
INTRODUCTION: There are limited published data on how countries carry out screening for tuberculosis (TB) disease and what the perceived challenges are for implementing screening from a country perspective. Understanding these factors are important to enable better planning and support for the roll-out of appropriate screening interventions. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional survey of national TB programmes from countries reporting >1000 TB…
Treatment preferences among people at risk of developing tuberculosis
Diagnosing and treating people with bacteriologically-negative but radiologically-apparent tuberculosis (TB) may contribute to more effective TB care and reduce transmission. However, optimal treatment approaches for this group are unknown. It is important to understand peoples’ preferences of treatment options for effective programmatic implementation of people-centred treatment approaches. We designed and implemented a discrete choice experimen…
Patients’ priorities around drug-resistant tuberculosis treatment
We conducted qualitative research exploring the treatment experience of people with DR-TB. We held nine focus group discussions with 57 adults undergoing/recently completed treatment for DR-TB in Georgia, Mongolia and South Africa. Translated transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis. We identified three higher order themes: (1) Treatment experience and the role of good relationships with healthcare providers: Treatment duration, pill bur…
