Towards cash transfer interventions for tuberculosis prevention care and control: key operational challenges and research priorities

摘要

BackgroundCash transfer interventions are forms of social protection based on the provision of cash to vulnerable households with the aim of reduce risk, vulnerability, chronic poverty and improve human capital. Such interventions are already an integral part of the response to HIV/AIDS in some settings and have recently been identified as a core element of World Health Organization’s End TB Strategy. However, limited impact evaluations and operational evidence are currently available to inform this policy transition.
