A research project funded to study the interplay between HIV exposure, social contact networks, and tuberculosis in children under five, aiming to improve TB detection and prevention strategies.
Description
This project uses unique databases and novel social network and ethnographic approaches to quantify and describe the relationship between HIV, TB, and children’s social environments. The results will inform child TB case detection strategies and policy to close the pediatric TB detection and treatment gaps in the United States and in high HIV/TB-burden settings.
