Abstract
We assessed incremental completion of tuberculosis preventive treatment cascade in household contacts by offering services in community settings. This improved clinical evaluation by 12.4 (95% CI:11.7–13.0) percentage points (pp), treatment completion by 11.6 (95% CI: 10.6–12.7) pp, and cascade completion by 5.9 (95% CI: 5.1–6.7) pp.
