Acceptability of Household and Community-based TB Screening in High Burden Communities: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract: In this systematic literature review, we address one question: What is the acceptability of community-based or mass TB screening in non-health care settings as compared with passive case finding in settings with an estimated prevalence of all forms of TB above 100/100,000 in the 2000-2011 period?
