Overview

Cross-sectional analysis showed significant gaps in knowledge and prevalent stigma about tuberculosis in mining communities.

Key Points

  • Gaps in tuberculosis knowledge were found, with education level being a key predictor of accurate knowledge.
  • Stigmatizing attitudes towards tuberculosis were prevalent, especially among men with no formal education.
  • Three distinct practice subgroups were identified: proactive practitioners (24%), moderate practitioners (42%), and low practitioners (34%).
  • Targeted interventions are essential to reduce stigma and improve tuberculosis knowledge and practices in these communities.
