AIr Pollution Effects on Transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Urban Slum Communities in Uganda.
REFNo: HS3084ES
Overall, the purpose of the study is to ensure the development team have a deep understanding of the considerations surrounding use of a respiratory treatment device. This includes the most significant challenges and opportunities in use of a respiratory treatment device. As such, the present study will form the foundation of concept ideation for a respiratory treatment device. Specific study objectives include the following: (1) Capture potential end user needs in both urban and rural locations (2) Capturing participant’s COVID-19 pandemic experience (3) Gaining an understanding of the COVID-19 pandemic response, and (4) Gaining an understanding of the healthcare system in which a respiratory device may be distributed/prescribed/administered/used/disposed.,4.2.2 Specific objectives I. To enroll subjects with active pulmonary TB (index cases) and assess their source strength in an urban slum community in Uganda II. To enroll household contacts (HC) of index cases and measure Mtb transmission to Mtb-naïve (those with negative Mtb infection tests) household contacts (people living in the same home as the index case) in an urban slum community in Uganda III. To characterize exposures to air pollution in both TB index cases and their household contacts in an urban slum community in Uganda,Main Objective The overall purpose of this study is to determine the extent to which particulate matter (PM) air pollution exposure affects the source strength (quantity of Mtb (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) in respiratory aerosol) of persons with active tuberculosis (TB) and the susceptibility to infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis in their contacts. Both source strength and susceptibility determine transmission of Mtb in the community,
