DESCRIPTION: The overall aims of the project are to compare alternative methods to ensure completion of treatment and preventive therapy for TB in inner cities, and to identify the most cost-effective methods to accomplish that. The basis for comparison includes adherence rates and cost savings as primary outcomes, and other parameters such as patient satisfaction, development of social networks, and participation in support programs as secondary outcomes. Two clinical trials are proposed to be conducted with patients from Harlem. Among those with active disease, a clinic-based surrogate family model will be compared to traditional community-based directly observed therapy (DOT). Among those eligible for preventive therapy, a community-based intervention conducted by trained graduates of a TB DOT program (peer workers) will be compared to traditional self-administered preventive treatment.

描述：该项目的总体目标是比较替代方案 确保完成结核病治疗和预防性治疗的方法 并确定最具成本效益的方法， 实现这一点。比较的基础包括遵守率和 成本节约作为主要结果，其他参数，如患者 满意度、社交网络的发展和参与 支持方案作为次要成果。两项临床试验是 拟对来自哈莱姆的患者进行。人群中 活动性疾病，将比较基于临床的替代家庭模型 直接观察治疗（DOT）。之间 那些有资格接受预防性治疗的人， 由经过培训的结核病DOT计划毕业生（同行工作者）进行， 与传统的自我管理的预防性治疗相比。
