Tuberculosis, Adherence Behaviour and the Inner City
Description:
Although tuberculosis is no longer considered to be a major threat to public health in Canada, it remains problematic for Aboriginal, immigrant and inner city populations. Non-adherence to TB treatment is a major obstacle to the control of TB. Treatment behaviour is a complicated phenomenon, and successful strategies to enhance patient adherence must address the barriers to treatment encountered by patients.
