This series of patient education fact sheets provides information on drugs used in the treatment of TB (e.g., Clofazimine, Ethambutol, Ethionamide, Isoniazid, Levofloxacin, Moxifloxacin, PASER [p-aminosalicylic acid granules], Pyrazinamide, Pyridoxine, Rifabutin, Rifampin, Streptomycin). The fact sheets include information on medication side effects, actions to take if side effects occur, and instructions in the event a dose of medication is missed.

The goal of these materials is to teach patients about TB infection and to motivate them to start and complete treatment if diagnosed. The materials are designed to encourage provider-patient interactions for active learning through the process of testing and treatment decisions. There are four materials in this series and it is suggested to use the materials as a continuum, as they build upon each other.

This document provides a generic framework for implementing TB diagnostics. Topics covered include managerial, technical, and operational processes required for developing and implementing a national strategy for TB laboratories.
The Homelessness and TB Toolkit is an online resource developed to assist both public health programs and homeless service agencies in the important work of TB control among people experiencing homelessness. The toolkit contains guidelines, forms, signs, educational materials, articles, and other resources. Many of the tools found on the site are presented as templates that can be modified or edited for a given program’s needs.
