Abstract

The overall sub-optimal IPT completion rate in adults as well as children/adolescents in this setting is of great concern. Prospective studies are needed to elucidate the specific barriers to IPT completion among children, adolescents, and adults in DRC as well as the scale-up of evidence-informed interventions to improve IPT completion, such as adoption of shorter TB preventive regimens.
