To accompany the updated Activist’s Guide to Shorter Treatment for Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis, TAG also developed three additional educational materials to support community-based and civil society organizations leading treatment literacy, peer support, and community-led monitoring activities:

“Options for Treating Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis: Which Regimen is Right for Me?” compares key attributes, risks and benefits, and considerations related to the preferences and needs of the person undergoing treatment that should be discussed when determining which regimen to use.

“Side Effects and Clinical and Laboratory-Based Monitoring of Treatment for Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis: What to Expect” walks through lab tests and clinical exams that people should expect to receive prior to treatment initiation, at regular intervals during treatment, and in response to specific problems or concerns.

“Talking with People About Your Diagnosis of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis” is written to help people recently diagnosed with drug-resistant TB think about how to approach disclosing and discussing their diagnosis with family and other close contacts.

You can download all of these from the links in the right sidebar.
