Elements of a person-centred, equity-oriented approach to ending tuberculosis

Person-centred Equity-oriented Example
Data collection Engage affected communities to understand sources of individual and community vulnerability to tuberculosis Identify communities most affected by existing disparities Identification of communities experiencing high tuberculosis burden due to the effect of food insecurity25
Design Multifaceted, scalable approaches address the multiple barriers faced by individual people Disparity-matched approaches address the specific vulnerabilities caused by key disparities Preventive therapy facilitated by streamlining the flow of clinic visits and providing nutritional supplements26
Implementation Interventions enable patients to complete the full cascades of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention Interventions target underlying mechanisms by which disparities increase vulnerability to tuberculosis Implementation of treatment for tuberculosis infection with context-specific supporting interventions27
Sustainability Efforts keep people connected to care and build trust in communities Efforts address upstream determinants so vulnerabilities do not rebound Efforts to build trust and reduce stigma associated with tuberculosis infection in identified communities28
