Proposed Project: Key Informant Interviews to Identify the Barriers to the Implementation of the New Targeted Testing and Treatment of Latent TB Infection RecommendationsNEWCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention (NCSHTP). In April 2000, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Thoracic Society (ATS) issued new
recommendations for targeted tuberculin testing and treatment regimens for persons with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI.) CDC proposes to collect data to identify potential barriers to the acceptance, implementation, and adherence to targeted testing and treatment of LTBI guidelines.

The specific purpose of this research is:

A. Identify barriers to acceptance, implementation, and adherence to the new targeted testing and treatment of LTBI recommendations.

B. Identify possible education and communication messages, materials, and behavior change strategies to overcome those barriers.

C. Identify acceptable dissemination and media channels.

Approximately, one hundred keyinformant telephone interviews with physicians who evaluate tuberculin skin test results and make treatment decisions for individuals with LTBI will be conducted. The target group will include physicians who work in the private sector and public sector in urban and rural areas from throughout the United States. The total burden hours for this data collection are 89 hours.
