First seen Aug 05, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at how a shorter tuberculosis (TB) treatment regimen works for children and adolescents with non-severe TB in Zambia. It involves children, caregivers, health workers, and policymakers to understand how well the regimen is accepted, followed, and feasible in real-world settings. The study also tracks treatment outcomes, including success rates and relapse after one year, to see if the shorter regimen is effective in practice.
