Trends in Tuberculosis Incidence and their Determinants in 134 Countries

This report describes a study that determined whether differences in national trends in tuberculosis (TB) incidence are attributable to the variable success of control programs or to biological, social, and economic factors. Trends in case notifications were used as a measure of trends in incidence in 135 countries from 1997-2006, and regression analysis was used to explore the associations between these trends and 32 measures covering aspects of development, the economy, the population, behavioral and biological risk factors, health services, and TB control. Results indicate that treatment programs have not had a major, detectable effect on incidence on a large scale and lists possible reasons.

World TB Day 2011: On the Move Against Tuberculosis

The STOP TB Partnership's theme for World TB Day 2011 is "On the Move Against Tuberculosis: Transforming the Fight Towards Elimination." The campaign was inspired by the Global Plan to Stop TB 2011-2015: Transforming the Fight-Towards Elimination of Tuberculosis, which was launched by the Stop TB Partnership in October 2010. This year's campaign will focus on recognizing individuals – doctors, nurses, managers, patients, activists and advocates, and researchers around the world who have found new ways to fight and stop TB in different settings and can serve as an inspiration to others. On this website, you will find a media centre, blog, and resources. These resources include campaign documents, posters, and t-shirt designs. The resources come in six languages - Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish.
