3HP-DOT = 3 months of directly observed once-weekly RPT (maximum dose, 900 mg) plus INH (maximum dose, 900 mg); 9H-SAT = 9 months of daily self-administered INH (maximum dose, 300 mg).

Includes North American Indian and other participants in the United States and Canada.

History of living in a correctional institution for ⩾1 month prior to enrollment.

§

History of homelessness or living in a shelter or single room occupancy for ⩾6 months prior to enrollment.

Use: affirmative response to a question asking whether the participant ever drank alcoholic beverages. Abuse: score of ⩾2 on the CAGE (Cut down, Annoyed, Guilty, Eye-opener) questionnaire.

#

Enrolling site was analyzed after a random selection of the reference value; overall P < 0.001.

**

Missing at least one of the first three DOT visits for the 3HP-DOT regimen and at least one of the three monthly clinic visits for the 9H-SAT regimen, followed by a DOT or a monthly visit after the missing DOT/visit, respectively (includes those who did not receive any study dose).

Note: Body mass index was explored, but due to a lack of statistical significance and lack of a meaningful association with the outcome, it was not included in the table/analyses.

HR = hazard ratio; CI = confidence interval; aHR = adjusted HR; H, INH = isoniazid; P, RPT = rifapentine; DOT = directly observed therapy; SAT = self-administered treatment; HIV = human immunodeficiency virus.
