Key Impacts

Temporal complexity in non-adherence to anti-tuberculosis treatment, a prospective cohort study in Tanzania

Non-adherence to anti-TB treatment is temporally complex, increases across the treatment course, and is the result of the intersection of multifaceted day-to-day events in an individual’s life, with complicated implications for effective drug levels across the treatment course. This complexity substantially limits our ability to predict an individual’s non-adherence at the start of treatment.Joint first authors- Tuwabunze and SalimJoint senior authors- Mpagama and Stagg
