New England Tuberculosis Prevention and Control

At the beginning of 2005, the six New England TB Programs joined together to promote a regional approach to TB elimination. This web site represents a step toward building collaboration, exchanging experiences and practices, and enhancing program capacity.

Using Regional Approaches to Reach the Goal of TB Elimination
Regional collaborations provide a framework for strengthening TB programs by establishing common goals and objectives. Our regional TB plan presents five strategic components (effective communication, consultation, training and education, enhanced case-finding and program evaluation) and five key operations (collaboration, policy development, surveillance using molecular genotyping, cohort reviews and research) that guide our common activities.
