Summary

This study looks at whether giving small cash payments can encourage more people in rural Tanzania to get screened for tuberculosis (TB). It will enroll 360 people with TB and their household contacts, comparing standard care to care plus a cash incentive. The study also measures how malnutrition affects the risk of developing active TB. The goal is to find practical ways to improve TB detection and prevention in high-burden communities.
