Detect and Prevent
Designing Diagnostic Environments for the Early Detection and Prevention of TB Transmission in Custodial Space

1 August 2016
Prof McHugh and Mr Astley research addressed the global, system-level problem in tuberculosis screening and control in prisons with a focus on experience in the UK and Tanzania.
The physical environment of prisons are ideal for the transmission of tuberculosis.
Characterised by weak control measures and a lack of screening or testing facilities they pose an increased risk for inmates of these institutions.
This project hosted a multi-agency joint participatory research design workshop on the topic at UCL in April 2016.
