Knowledge, attitudes, and practices about tuberculosis and choice of communication channels in Thailand

Abstract: 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 Thai… Show more

“…Family size is another significant factor affecting the knowledge status of migrants and seasonal farmworkers. This finding is supported by a study conducted in Thailand among the general population and risk groups [18]. This could be due to the culture of sharing information among the family members to one another if family size is large.…”

“…Addressing knowledge gaps in TB prevention has a great role in eliminating TB (5). Literacy (6,7), gender (6), mass media (8)(9)(10), is a TB patient (11), professional occupation (7,12), health education (13), culture myths (14,15), knowledge (16), wealth index (17), age (18), and residence (19) were some of the factors affecting knowledge and attitude. Since knowledge is a precursor of a TB control strategy, determining knowledge of migrants and seasonal farmworkers is very crucial in enabling and fastening controlling TB strategies (20).…”

“…TB knowledge was significantly higher in community members who had personal/close family experience of TB than those without such experience, as previously described in a study from Asia. 22 A novel finding in our study, however, was the extent to which this association was restricted to residents of cwACF areas, potentially reflecting the combination of 1) greater cumulative exposure to TB messages from the cwACF team and 2) greater engagement (and hence recall) by individuals personally affected by TB. Although formal testing for effect modification failed to show a statistically significant interaction, the current study was not powered to provide such evidence post-stratification: ‘absence of evidence’ rather than ‘evidence of absence’.…”
