Predicted preferences for tuberculosis point-of-care tests among tuberculosis-affected individuals in 5 high burden countries
Point-of-care (POC) tests are needed to improve tuberculosis (TB) detection, but how TB-affected persons value POC tests is unknown. Simulations using discrete choice experiment-based data from 1149 TB-affected participants across 5 countries demonstrated that POC TB tests were highly preferred, eve...

| Summary: | Point-of-care (POC) tests are needed to improve tuberculosis (TB) detection, but how TB-affected persons value POC tests is unknown. Simulations using discrete choice experiment-based data from 1149 TB-affected participants across 5 countries demonstrated that POC TB tests were highly preferred, even with modestly lower accuracy compared to standard facility-based testing. |
