Abstract
Objectives: Stigma contributes to diagnostic delay, disease concealment, and reduced wellbeing for people with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and their communities. Despite the negative effects of stigma, there are no scales to measure stigma in people with MDR-TB. This study aimed to develop and validate a scale to measure stigma in people affected by MDR-TB in Vietnam.
Study design and setting: People with rifampicin-resistant (RR)-MDR-TB who had completed at least 3 months of treatment were invited to complete a survey containing 45 draft stigma items. Data analysis included exploratory factor analysis, internal consistency, content, criterion and construct validity, and test-retest reliability.
Results: A total of 315 people with RR/MDR-TB completed the survey. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a 14 item RR/MDR-TB stigma scale with four subscales, including guilt, social exclusion, physical isolation, and blame. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were good (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.76, ICC = 0.92). Construct validity was adequate with moderate correlations with related constructs.
Conclusion: Our RR/MDR-TB Scale demonstrated good psychometric properties in Vietnam. This scale will assist in the measurement of stigma in people with RR/MDR-TB. It will also aid in the evaluation of stigma reduction interventions in people with RR/MDR-TB.

Abstract
Problem
The 2008 tuberculosis (TB) surveillance of Chiang Rai Hospital, Chiang Rai, Thailand reported that 8.4% of Thai, 22.7% of hill tribe minority and 25% of migrant patients (n = 736) defaulted from treatment.
Context
TB patient management in Chiang Rai is complicated due to poverty and HIV stigma. A previous study shows unaffordable travel expense was one of the reasons of patient default.
Action
We engaged Chiang Rai women’s organizations whose members are of high socioeconomic status to support poor TB patients financially and socially. A group of women formed a team to support these TB patients (n = 192) by raising and sustaining funds and providing home visits (n = 37). TB surveillance and patient-fund register data were used to evaluate TB treatment outcomes.
Outcome
The success of TB treatment was significantly higher for patients receiving financial support (relative risk [RR]: 1.351; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.20–1.53; P < 0.000). Lower death rates in all groups were observed among patients receiving financial support. However, financial assistance alone did not improve treatment outcomes for migrant patients. Thirty-seven patients (25 Thai, eight hill tribe, four migrants) who were visited by women volunteers at home achieved 95% TB treatment success.
Discussion
It is possible to involve volunteers to support poor TB patients. Willingness to support TB patients was driven by presenting provincial TB epidemiology information, research data on the experience of poor patients and the inspiring experiences of other women volunteers. Future research should investigate the reasons for the high treatment success among patients who received home visits.

Abstract
Setting: A northern province in Thailand.
Objectives: To explore experiences and perspectives on tuberculosis (TB) contact investigations in non-household contacts.
Design: Focus group discussions and in-depth interviews with eight groups: three groups of former TB patients (teachers, students and hospital staff) and five groups of representatives from congregate settings such as schools and workplaces. Data were analysed using the modified grounded theory.
Result: Annual health check-ups at the workplace contributed to the early detection of active TB in teachers. Former TB patients were highly exposed to non-household contacts, but contact investigations were limited to household contacts only. Barriers and facilitators for non-household contact investigations are associated with five factors, including information, awareness and knowledge about TB; stigma; empathy; health system response and informing non-household contacts about TB exposure. Stigma may be the main barrier to investigations among non-household contacts because TB patients tend to withhold information about their diagnosis from colleagues. Lack of knowledge and misperceptions regarding TB transmission contributed to stigma. Empathy with other people encouraged TB patients to inform non-household contacts.
Conclusion: Non-household contact investigations are not performed despite the risk of TB transmission. To promote contact investigations in congregate settings, interventions to overcome TB stigma and improve public knowledge about TB transmission are required.

Abstract
Problem: Despite implementation of universal health coverage in Thailand, gaps remain in the system for screening contacts of tuberculosis patients.
Approach: We designed broader criteria for contact investigation and new screening practices and assessed the approach in a programme-based operational research study in 2017-2018. Clinic staff interviewed 100 index patients and asked them to give household and non-household contacts an invitation for a free screening and chest X-ray. Contact persons who attended received 250 Thai baht (about 8 United States dollars) allowance for transport.
Local setting: Chiang Rai province, Thailand, has high rates of tuberculosis notification and a high number of people living in poverty. The coverage of contact investigation in under 5-year-olds was only 33.2% (222 screened out of 668 contacts) over 2011-2015.
Relevant changes: Index patients identified 440 contacts in total and gave invitation cards to 227 of them. The contact investigation coverage was 81.1% (184/227) and tuberculosis detection among contacts screened was 6.0% (11/184). Of the 11 contacts with active tuberculosis, three did not have tuberculosis symptoms, three were non-household contacts and three were contacts of non-smear-positive tuberculosis patients. The contact investigation coverage of the contacts younger than 5 years was 100% (14/14) and the yield of tuberculosis detection in this age group was 21.4% (3/14).
Lessons learnt: High coverage of contact investigation with a high yield of tuberculosis detection among contacts can be achieved by applying broader criteria for contact investigation and providing financial support for transportation.
