<h4>Background</h4> Most tuberculosis (TB) cases in The Gambia are notified in the Greater Banjul Area (GBA). We conducted an Enhanced-Case-Finding (ECF) intervention in the GBA and determined its effect on TB case notifications and ongoing TB transmission. <h4>Methods</h4> This was a cluster randomized trial in which randomly assigned intervention areas of grouped settlements received three rounds of an ECF str...
