Summary

This study tests whether having health workers visit families at home can help more children under 15 start and finish tuberculosis (TB) preventive treatment. About 1,300 children in southern Ethiopia will take part. The goal is to see if home-based care works better than the usual clinic visits for preventing TB in kids exposed to the disease.
