An evaluation of a choice architecture-based intervention on prescribing of TB preventive treatment to people living with HIV in southern Africa (the CAT study)
INTRODUCTION: While highly effective for reducing the risk of tuberculosis (TB) disease, TB preventive treatment (TPT) is underused among people living with HIV (PWH). We evaluated the effectiveness of a behavioural economics-based choice architecture approach to increase facility-level TPT prescribing to PWH in Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. METHODS: We conducted a cluster-randomised trial within the IMPAACT4TB 3HP rollout, in which 57 healthc…
Evaluating community knowledge of tuberculosis preventive therapy in rural South Africa
Rural South African community members demonstrated poor TB knowledge. Community members with good knowledge of TB were also aware of TPT. Greater community-level public health education and individual-level counseling efforts are needed to facilitate TPT expansion and implementation
Frequency of tuberculosis symptoms at repeat visits amongst adults attending for HIV care in Gauteng province, South Africa
W4SS symptoms remained relatively common at repeat visits among people without TB in HIV care. Repeat testing of symptomatic patients with Xpert MTB/RIF would have substantial resource implications. Sensitive and specific TB screening tools which are not dependent on symptoms are needed
Tuberculosis active case finding
We identified undiagnosed pulmonary TB cases among drivers but at a level that may be insufficient to justify systematic case finding in this population considering the poor uptake
