Home-Based TB Prevention Treatment in Kenya
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests a community-friendly way to deliver TB prevention medicine (called TPT) to people's homes in Kenya. Researchers want to see if bringing screening and treatment to your house—instead of making you go to a clinic—helps more people start and finish TB prevention, which can reduce TB spread in your community.
