ThiPhiSA: New Pathways to Prevention From Community TB Screening in South Africa
Sponsor: University of Washington
Summary
This study will compare community-delivered, multi-month dispensing of tuberculosis preventive therapy (TPT) to standard-of-care clinic-based TPT delivery in a population of South African adults who are recommended to receive TB preventive therapy. We hypothesize that persons receiving multi-month dispensing of TPT in the community will have a higher rate of TPT completion at 3 months than persons receiving TPT via standard of care with monthly clinic-based refills.
