Influence of tuberculosis knowledge on acceptance of preventive treatment and the moderating role of tuberculosis stigma among China’s general population: cross-sectional analysis
The findings of the study indicated that having a high level of awareness about TB can enhance the general population's acceptability of TBI treatment. TB stigma moderated this association; it weakened the relationship between TB knowledge and individuals' willingness to accept TBI treatment. To mitigate TB stigma and enhance the intention of individuals with TBI to accept preventive therapy, it is imperative to enhance TB-related health education.
