Geospatial clustering and modelling provide policy guidance to distribute funding for active TB case finding in Ethiopia

Geospatial clustering and modelling provide policy guidance to distribute funding for active TB case finding in Ethiopia

Tuberculosis (TB) exhibits considerable spatial heterogeneity, occurring in clusters that may act as hubs of community transmission. We evaluated the impact of an intervention targeting spatial TB hotspots in a rural region of Ethiopia. To evaluate the impact of targeted active case finding (ACF), w...
