Household costing and time-and-motion
TB
ADVERSE EVENTS
Within 2 weeks from the first TB screening and evaluation, research assistants will conduct a standardized survey with the child’s caregiver about costs incurred to either host the community health team (intervention arm) or to visit the health facility (control arm). In this first survey, we will also inquire about their household’s asset ownership, living conditions, and educational attainment. Upon TPT completion, a follow-up costing survey will capture estimated costs on follow-up care and management of TPT-related adverse events, including an assessment of catastrophic costs (costs totaling ≥20% of annual household income) [For a subset of participants, a time-and-motion observation will be conducted by a research assistant at either the household or the health facility to capture the time the participant spends on each activity (screening, enrolment, counseling, etc.) at initiation and/or follow-up.
