This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new approach to finding tuberculosis cases in rural areas of China. Instead of waiting for people to come to health clinics, researchers are bringing mobile vans equipped with chest X-ray machines and rapid testing to villages. The goal is to catch tuberculosis earlier in people who are at higher risk, so they can get treatment sooner.
Tuberculosis remains a serious health problem in rural China, but many cases go undetected because people don't visit clinics regularly. This trial exists to see whether actively searching for cases using mobile vans in high-risk communities can find more people with tuberculosis and reduce the overall burden of the disease.

If you are in the screening group, a mobile van will visit your village in the first year and you will be invited to have a chest X-ray and possibly provide a sputum sample for testing. The entire screening is done on-site at the van. If you are in the comparison group, you will continue with routine care as usual and will not receive an active screening visit. Either way, if tuberculosis is detected, you will receive standard treatment following national guidelines.
