Official title
Behavioral Interventions for Control of Tuberculosis
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
To compare alternative methods to ensure completion of treatment and preventive therapy for tuberculosis (TB) in inner cities, and to identify the most cost-effective methods to accomplish that. The basis for comparison included adherence rates and cost savings as primary outcomes, and other parameters such as patient satisfaction, development of social networks, and participation in support programs as secondary outcomes. Two clinical trials were conducted with patients from Harlem. Among those with active disease, a clinic-based surrogate family model was compared to traditional community-based directly observed therapy (DOT). Among those eligible for preventive therapy, a community-based intervention conducted by trained graduates of a TB DOT program (peer workers) was compared to traditional self-administered preventive treatment.
