Includes bibliographical references. Finding and treating cases [of tuberculosis] in the community before they present to health facilities, a strategy known as active-case-finding is gaining momentum as a way to decrease the infectious pool. This can be achieved through door-to-door community surveys using a TB symptom-screening questionnaire, and is an economical and practical tool to employ in poor, high burden areas. However, unlike for the high risk group of people infected with HIV, there is a lack of evidence supporting the adaptation of a symptom screening tool in the other high risk groups. In 2010, a TB prevalence survey was conduceted in 24 high TB and HIV burden communities in Zambia and the Western Cape, South Africa. This prevalence survey served as the endpoint for the Zambia and South Africa TB and AIDS Reduction study (ZAMSTAR). This survey made use of a questionnaire the collected, among other information, data regarding individual TB symptom reporting, HIV status, diabetes mellitus status and cigarette smoking. 2014-07-28T14:49:23Z 2014-07-28T14:49:23Z 2013 Master Thesis Masters MPH http://hdl.handle.net/11427/3065 eng application/pdf Institute of Infectious Disease and Molecular Medicine Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
