Forging Partnerships to Eliminate Tuberculosis

After a decrease in the number of tuberculosis (TB) cases in the U.S. from 1953-1984, TB reemerged as a serious national problem. In response, federal, state, & local officials are working to reestablish effective TB prevention & control programs. State & local health departments have the legal responsibility for controlling TB; they are responsible for surveillance, contact follow-up, training & education, & the monitoring & evaluation of case management. This guide is meant to serve as a resource guide for state & local health departments working to improve their services & build partnerships to control TB in their jurisdictions.Leonard, Barry is the author of 'Forging Partnerships to Eliminate Tuberculosis' with ISBN 9780756700935 and ISBN 0756700930.
