Identifying mechanisms by which social determinants of health impact TB diagnostic evaluation uptake in Uganda: a qualitative study
Biomedical interventions alone are unlikely to address the spectrum of SDoH-related barriers to equitable completion of TB diagnostic evaluation. Linking barriers to a behavior change model such as COM-B may help guide the design and evaluation of appropriate people-centered strategies that integrate social and economic supports with clinical and public health programs or services.
