Sponsor

ANRS, Emerging Infectious Diseases

Enrollment

4,000 participants

Start Date

Oct 2, 2023

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Tuberculosis

Summary

The overarching purpose of the proposed research is to demonstrate that a targeted, multi-component community-based intervention among PWID in Hai Phong will decrease TB prevalence among this very high-risk population.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a community-based intervention in Vietnam designed to reduce tuberculosis (TB) among people who inject drugs — a group at dramatically higher risk of TB than the general population. The intervention involves large-scale TB screening using chest X-rays and sputum tests, combined with treatment for latent TB infection using a short course of antibiotics. Adults aged 18 and over who inject drugs (confirmed by urine test and injection marks) may be eligible, unless they are currently being treated for active TB. Participation involves attending screening sessions, answering health questionnaires, and potentially receiving preventive TB medication. This summary was prepared to help patients understand the study in plain language.
