Abstract

TB rates are at an all time low in the U.S. and serial TB testing is inefficient and burdensome. Here we describe a model to guide TB screening based on occupational and non-occupational risk. Facility-level risk is taken into account only to drive policy. This methodology will reduce the cost and labor burden of TB screening.
