“…Moreover, health information through mass media and other methods was significantly affecting the attitude of respondents. This could be the fact that mass media has a great role in creating awareness (28), which can later change perceptions and behaviors' of respondents (29,30).…”

Background Globally, tuberculosis (TB) is the 9 th leading cause of death. Despite no country achieved its target, the world health organization (WHO) proposed a 90-90-90 approach to fastening the end TB strategy. Improvement and progression of TB control need good knowledge and a favorable attitude towards the disease. However, interventions designed don’t take migrants and seasonal farmworkers into account. Therefore, this study aimed at estimating the level of knowledge and attitude on Tuberculosis among migrant and seasonal farmworkers in northwest Ethiopia. Methods Community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in the West Gondar zone from October to November 2018. A two-stage cluster sampling was used to select 949 migrant and seasonal farmworkers. Both bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed. A p-value of <0.05 was used to declare statistical significance. The goodness of fit was checked using Hosmer and Lemeshow test. Results In this study, (41.8%), (95% CI: 38.73, 45.01) and (50.5%), (95% CI: 47.29, 53.65) of migrants and seasonal farmworkers had good knowledge and a favorable attitude, respectively. The odds of good knowledge among mass media exposed migrants were AOR=1.42, 95% CI: (1.02, 2.01). Moreover, urban residence and having good knowledge increase the odds of favorable attitude by 1.66, (AOR=1.7; 95% CI: 1.05, 2.62) and 4.3 (AOR=4.3, 95%CI: 3.26, 5.75), respectively. Conclusion In this study, the overall knowledge and attitude of migrant and seasonal farmworkers on TB were low. Family size and mass media exposure significantly affect knowledge of the migrants on TB. On the other hand, the attitude was affected by urban residence, health information, and having good knowledge. Health promotion interventions, focused on TB cause, mode of transmission, prevention, and treatment are important to migrant and seasonal farmworkers to improve the knowledge and attitude of migrants and seasonal farmworkers.

“…34 In this study, no child progressed from TB infection to disease, and the completion rates were higher than those seen in children receiving 9 months of INH. The short-treatment duration makes administration during the academic school year feasible, and one study has shown that, with a preceding educational intervention, 35 children and their families are accepting of risk factor screening, testing, and treatment for TB infection through entirely school-based programs. 36 Such school-based programs provide an opportunity to identify children and adolescents who would otherwise not have access to care.…”

The last decade has seen publication of more robust data for shorter course regimens for tuberculosis infection. These regimens are associated with higher completion rates than the traditional 6- to 9-month course of daily isoniazid (INH). These shorter regimens include 4 months of daily rifampin (RIF) and 12 once-weekly doses of INH and a long-acting rifamycin and rifapentine. In addition, a widely used regimen in the United Kingdom is 3 or 4 months of daily INH and RIF. All regimens have demonstrated efficacy in the ideal conditions of clinical studies, and all have very low rates of hepatotoxicity in children. These newer regimens likely are more effective than longer courses of INH once patient and family adherence is considered. Clinicians need to be cognizant of poor completion rates with traditional INH therapy and how the use of rifamycin-containing regimens offers more palatable options for children and their families.
