Abstract

We assessed incremental completion of tuberculosis-preventive treatment cascade in household contacts by offering services in community settings. This improved clinical evaluation by 12.4 (95% CI: 11.7-13.0) percentage points (pp), treatment completion by 11.6 (95% CI: 10.6-12.7) pp, and cascade completion by 5.9 (95% CI: 5.1-6.7) pp.
