This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This five-year study is testing two different strategies for finding people with tuberculosis and connecting them to treatment in Uganda. One approach brings screening to specific neighborhoods that are known to have high rates of undiagnosed tuberculosis; the other brings screening to health facilities. Researchers want to see which method finds more people with tuberculosis and gets them help faster.
Tuberculosis remains a serious public health problem, and many people with the disease go undiagnosed and untreated. This trial exists to figure out the best way to find people with tuberculosis early and connect them to preventive therapy, so fewer people get sick and spread the disease to others.

If you join this study, you will be screened for tuberculosis either in your community (in an area identified as having high tuberculosis rates) or at a health facility. The screening involves talking with study staff about any symptoms you may have and may include a simple test. If screening suggests you might have tuberculosis or are at risk, you will be linked to preventive therapy or treatment at a clinic. The study continues for five years, though your individual involvement may be shorter depending on which screening approach your area receives.
