Comparative impacts and cost-effectiveness of tuberculosis active case-finding strategies in prisons in Brazil, Colombia, and Peru: a mathematical modeling study

2025-09-27

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Incarceration is a leading driver of tuberculosis in Latin America. Active case-finding in prisons may reduce population-wide tuberculosis burden, but optimal strategies and cost-effectiveness remain uncertain. <h4>Methods and findings</h4> Using dynamic transmission models calibrated to Brazil, Colombia, and Peru, we simulated annual or biannual (twice-yearly) prison-wide...
