Active screening of presumptive tuberculosis cases in rural communities through youth club members in India: logic model development and feasibility study
The developed logic model provides a visual display of the input, process, output, and outcome domains, their activities, and relationships. The model links resources, activities, and outcomes for the screening and referral of diagnosed cases. It was broadly accepted, despite some reported challenges. Addressing barriers is essential for program sustainability. Tailored strategies to improve volunteer support, training, and trust-building can enhance the model's effectiveness and contribute to India's TB elimination program.
