Key Impacts
Discrete choice experiment suggests that person-centered treatment support could be achieved by offering a choice between two interventions
Overall, people with TB in Lima, Peru identified community treatment and conditional cash transfers as the most important forms of treatment support, but neither was acceptable to everyone, and their relative priority varied. Offering a choice between the two would promote patient-centered care by giving each person a form of support they prioritize.
