Survey Nazionale Sui Determinanti Del Ritardato Accesso Alle Cure e Della Mancata Aderenza al Trattamento Antitubercolare (National Survey on the Determinats of Delayed Access to Care and Non-adherence to Tuberculosis Treatment)

Prompt access to care and treatment adherence are the hearth of tuberculosis control.

This is a multicentre observational prospective study aimed at studying the factors associated with delayed access to care and low adherence to anti-tuberculosis treatment. Hetero- and self-administered questionnaires will be used at enrollment to assess clinical presentation and time and modalities of the diagnosis. Treatment adherence will be assessed during the follow-up with self administered questionnaires.
