Overview

Cross-sectional study assesses how tuberculosis knowledge impacts healthcare choices among patients, highlighting critical knowledge gaps.

Key Points

  • High tuberculosis knowledge (88.1%) among patients positively influences primary healthcare choices, improving access.
  • Low TB knowledge significantly reduces the likelihood of seeking healthcare, particularly in treatment awareness.
  • Healthcare accessibility and cost are primary factors influencing patients' choices in Nkoranza South Municipality.
  • Addressing knowledge gaps is essential for enhancing TB control and treatment adherence in the community.
