From: Investments in tuberculosis research – what are the gaps?
Transmission dynamics | Which individuals are responsible for most tuberculosis transmission in high burden communities? How effective are different interventions in interrupting transmission? |
Social determinants | How do structural and socioeconomic factors increase vulnerability to tuberculosis and how can they be addressed cost effectively? |
Health systems and policy research | How can health systems be strengthened to better deliver quality services to at-risk populations (comorbidities, geographically isolated), thereby preventing generation of drug resistance? What measures should be taken to engage unregulated private healthcare providers? How do we increase evidence-based policy setting? |
