Nurse-led Community Health Worker TBI (RN/CHW TBI) program
Homeless adults with TBI will be assigned to this program which includes culturally-sensitive education, case management, and directly observed therapy (DOT) delivery of medication among patients who have been prescribed 3HP (12 weeks treatment for latent TB infection) by a medical provider. For this research, 3HP will be delivered to homeless persons infected with TB on a weekly basis by CHW under the guidance of their RN. The RN/CHW team will also provide case management, including health education and referrals for social services.
