Implication

Mixed-methods study examines barriers to TPT coverage in urban tuberculosis units, indicating awareness issues and health workforce inadequacies.

Key Points

  • Only 48% of eligible household contacts initiated tuberculosis preventive treatment, highlighting coverage challenges.
  • Of those who started treatment, 85.1% completed it, but many were lost to follow-up or not evaluated.
  • Mixed-methods approach included data from the Nikshay portal and interviews with key informants, providing comprehensive insights.
  • Implementation challenges in urban areas stem from inadequate health workforce and unique barriers such as stigma and treatment duration.
