perception of vulnerability to the performance of cadres in tuberculosis control cases (b = 3.35;
95% CI= 1.43 to 5.27; p=0.001), seriousness (b=2.21; 95% CI=0.43 to 3.9; p = 0.015), benefits (b=
2.11; 95% CI= 0.42 to 3.80; p = 0.014), self-efficacy (b = 2.04; 95% CI= -0.01 to 4.09; p = 0.051),
the impulse to act (b = 1.64; 95% CI= 0.06 to 3.22; p= 0.042) with the performance of cadres in the
control of tuberculosis cases. There was a direct negative relationship between perceptions of
barriers to the performance of cadres in tuberculosis control (b=-4.54; 95% CI= -7.56 to - 1.52); p =
