Predicted Preferences for Tuberculosis Point-of-Care Tests Among Tuberculosis-Affected Individuals in 5 High Burden Countries

Point-of-care (POC) tests are needed to improve tuberculosis (TB) detection, but how TB-affected persons value POC tests is unknown. Simulations using discrete choice experiment-based data from 1,149 TB-affected participants across five countries demonstrated that POC TB tests were highly preferred, even with modestly lower accuracy compared to standard facility-based testing.
