Rising Catastrophic Expenditure on Households Due to Tuberculosis
Introduction: One of the targets of the END-TB strategy is to ensure zero catastrophic expenditure on households due to TB. The information about household catastrophic expenditure is limited in India and, therefore difficult to monitor. The objective is to estimate household and catastrophic expenditure for Tuberculosis using national sample survey data. Methods: For arriving at out-of-pocket expenditure due to tuberculosis and its impact on hou…
Active versus passive case finding for tuberculosis in marginalised and vulnerable populations in India
We did not find significant differences in the treatment outcomes. Due to the wide CIs, studies with larger sample sizes are urgently required. Studies are required to understand how to translate the benefits of ACF to improved treatment outcomes
Active case finding among marginalised and vulnerable populations reduces catastrophic costs due to tuberculosis diagnosis
BACKGROUND: There is limited evidence on whether active case finding (ACF) among marginalised and vulnerable populations mitigates the financial burden during tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis. OBJECTIVES: To determine the effect of ACF among marginalised and vulnerable populations on prevalence and inequity of catastrophic costs due to TB diagnosis among TB-affected households when compared with passive case finding (PCF). METHODS: In 18 randomly samp…
Serial survey shows community intervention may contribute to increase in knowledge of Tuberculosis in 30 districts of India
The knowledge about TB has increased over a period of 2 years and this may be attributable to the community intervention in 30 districts of India. The study offers valuable lesson for designing TB related awareness programmes in India and in other high burden countries
