This is a joint project between the MDH TB and Refugee Health programs to enhance current LTBI surveillance among status adjusters and improve LTBI treatment outcomes. This project aims to build on ongoing engagement with between local public health, civil surgeons, status adjusters, and state health department programs to meet the project goals. The Refugee Health Program, as the state’s center point for civil surgeons, refugee and immigrant health, and status adjustment guidelines, has been engaged in this work since 2018. RHP will enhance current reporting requirements to better understand LTBI prevalence among status adjuster population and outline barriers and challenges to accessing LTBI treatment. Interventions that seek to improve LTBI education and treatment outcomes will be implemented and evaluated appropriately, and all findings will be consistently shared with state and national partners.
