The Decide-TB project is an implementation research project aiming to improve the diagnosis and management of tuberculosis in children by using treatment decision algorithms (TDAs).

These algorithms will help clinicians to make rapid and consistent decisions for the treatment of tuberculosis in children.

About the project

The Decide-TB project will

  • Use treatment decision algorithms (TDAs) in district hospitals and primary health centres
  • Evaluate how TDAs increase the number of children started on TB treatment and if they detect TB accurately
  • Develop tools, procedures, and training curricula for use of TDAs by healthcare workers
  • Support the integration of TDAs into practices and policy

The project will be implemented from 2023 to 2027 in Mozambique and Zambia, 2 countries with high TB-burden in sub-Saharan Africa.

Decide-TB is funded by the European Union.
