Summary
This study tested whether giving tuberculosis (TB) preventive medicine in the community, with fewer refill visits, helps more people finish their treatment compared to standard monthly clinic visits. Researchers enrolled 301 South African adults at risk for TB, including those with HIV or close contact with TB patients. The goal was to see if community-based multi-month dispensing leads to higher completion rates of the 3-month preventive therapy.
