Abstract Text
DESCRIPTION
This revised application seeks to build on past experience with Boston's
largely centralized model of TB care and take advantage of trends to shift
primary health care to the community, in order to educate primary care
providers, house officers, and students about TB. They will be linked with
the city's Public Health TB Program to enable them to improve TB preventive
services in a community-based primary care setting. Specifically, the
application aims to (1) develop a community-based primary care curriculum
for attending staff and house officers and students in Boston's neighborhood
health centers to enable implementation of TB preventive services in the
communities they serve, (2) develop a primary care TB curriculum for
Pediatrics and Internal Medicine house officers at Boston University Medical
Center, and (3) develop an integrated curriculum of TB education and
training for medical students at Boston University School of Medicine that
will be applied longitudinally throughout the years of predoctoral training.
The quality of education and training and the delivery of preventive
services to the community will be evaluated and feedback provided to
participants. The goal is to improve the care of high-risk persons in
Boston's inner-city communities, decrease future TB case rates, and provide
a paradigm for managing TB in other settings.

Publications
Publications are associated with projects, but cannot be identified with any particular year of the project or fiscal year of funding. This is due to the continuous and cumulative nature of knowledge generation across the life of a project and the sometimes long and variable publishing timeline. Similarly, for multi-component projects, publications are associated with the parent core project and not with individual sub-projects.
