Tuberculosis, Alcohol, and Lung Comorbidities (TALC) Study
REFNo: HS2705ES

Qualitatively evaluate factors for tailoring pharmaco-behavioral alcohol and smoking interventions in PLWH being treated for TB. ,Explore how smoking alters the association of past-month heavy drinking and post-TB lung disease progression over time,• Aim 1b. Assess the association of past-month heavy drinking and post-TB lung disease progression over time. This aim uses recent alcohol use (30-day Timeline Followback, PEth) since direct mechanisms (e.g., alcohol toxicity) may drive the physiologic, anatomic, and immunologic outcomes of interest. We define past-month heavy drinking as ≥7 drinks/week (women), ≥14 drinks/week (men) or PEth>200 ng/mL.,• Aim 1a. Determine if past-year hazardous drinking is associated with post-TB lung disease. ,Aim 1. Determine the relationship between hazardous drinking and post-TB lung disease in PLWH.,
