Tuberculosis in Household Contact
Keywords:
Tuberculosis, Social Determinants, Household ContactsAbstract
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health challenge, with social determinants playing a crucial role in its transmission and progression. This study investigates the social determinants influencing TB among household contacts and index cases. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, we analyzed data from 200 TB index cases and their household contacts in a high-burden region. Quantitative data were collected through structured interviews, assessing factors such as socioeconomic status, education level, living conditions, and access to healthcare. Qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews to gain deeper insights into the social context of TB transmission
