TBEI Community Outreach

The goal of Community Outreach is to promote access to LTBI care in communities at high risk for TB, optimize the model for TB prevention in community outreach events involving partnerships to provide TB screening, testing, chest x-rays, LTBI clinical evaluation and treatment to high-risk individuals in a community setting. Services can be offered as a stand-alone activity or in collaboration with another community events, such as health fairs.
