This study is designed to find tuberculosis (TB) early in people who are at higher risk of developing it, including refugees, migrants, and people living in under-resourced neighborhoods in Barcelona. Researchers will provide education about TB, ask about symptoms like persistent cough and fever, and refer anyone with warning signs for further hospital testing including chest X-rays and lab work.
Tuberculosis can be serious and spread to others if not caught early. People in certain groups—like refugees and those facing poverty—have higher rates of TB but may not have easy access to screening. This study aims to reach these vulnerable communities and catch the disease before it becomes more severe.

If you join, you'll attend a short educational talk about tuberculosis, then answer questions about whether you've experienced symptoms like a cough lasting more than 2 weeks, fever, night sweats, weight loss, or blood in your sputum. If your answers suggest you might have TB, you'll be referred to a hospital for more detailed testing—including a chest X-ray, a doctor's visit, and blood or lab tests—at no cost to you.
