Key Impacts
Engagement of local market actors to expand the reach of active case finding: Impact of TB screening at daily markets in Bauchi State, Nigeria
TB screening at daily markets is an effective strategy for expanding the reach of ACF activities in Bauchi State. The intervention resulted in the detection of new TB cases that would have otherwise been missing and by leveraging existing social networks and cultural capital, we recommend a similar approach across the country.
