TB

Asian/Asian American (A/AA) and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (NH/PI) communities continue to be impacted by tuberculosis (TB) at a greater rate compared to other racial and ethnic groups. Countries with the highest TB burden among non-U.S.-born Asians and Pacific Islanders include the Philippines, India, Vietnam, China, Myanmar, and the Marshall Islands (CDC, 2022). This report contains strategies for LTBI screening, testing, and treatment  in health centers that serve AA and NH/PI communities.
