Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess tuberculosis (TB) knowledge, attitudes, and practices in both the general population and risk groups in Thailand. Methodology: In a cross-sectional survey, a general population (n = 3,074) and family members of a TB patient (n = 559) were randomly selected, using stratified multistage sampling, and interviewed. Results: The average TB knowledge score was 5.7 (maximum = 10) in the Thai and 5.1 in the migrant and ethnic minorities general populations, 6.3 in Thais with a family member with TB, and 5.4 in migrants and ethnic minorities with a family member with TB. In multivariate linear regression among the Thai general population, higher education, higher income, and knowing a person from the community with TB were all significantly associated with level of TB knowledge. Across the different study populations, 18.6% indicated that they had undergone a TB screening test. Multivariate logistic regression found that older age, lower education, being a migrant or belonging to an ethnic minority group, residing in an area supported by the Global Fund, better TB knowledge, having a family member with TB, and knowing other people in the community with TB was associated having been screened for TB. Conclusion: This study revealed deficiencies in the public health knowledge about TB, particularly among migrants and ethnic minorities in Thailand. Sociodemographic factors should be considered when designing communication strategies and TB prevention and control interventions.

“…Além disso, pode ser o reflexo de um conjunto de condições socioeconômicas precárias, que aumentam a vulnerabilidade à tuberculose, sendo um fator de risco para a tuberculose, contribuindo inclusive para a não adesão ao tratamento e para o aumento da taxa de abandono (11,12) . O padrão de ocorrência da TB está relacionado aos determinantes sociais, que estão estruturados nos modos de produção e reprodução da sociedade, sendo as pessoas mais vulneráveis ao adoecimento as que estão entre as populações de baixa renda com condições insalubres de moradia (6) . Ademais, no presente estudo observou-se um dado preocupante de que a falta de conhecimento sobre TB pode afetar a forma como a comunidade percebe e enfrenta a doença.…”
