Overview

Cross-sectional survey reveals low screening rates for tuberculosis among prisoners, indicating constraints affecting treatment access.

Key Points

  • Less than half of prisoners with a cough lasting over two weeks were screened for tuberculosis, highlighting treatment gaps.
  • Awareness and perception regarding tuberculosis screening significantly influence access, with odds ratios of 6.21 and 9.36 respectively.
  • Cross-sectional analytical study included 60 prisoners at Abomey-Calavi remand center with emphasis on screening and isolation measures.
  • Health interventions must address identified bottlenecks to improve tuberculosis access and protect prisoner populations.
