To assess implementation of a nurse-led, symptom-based screening program in local, decentralized clinics for tuberculosis (TB) screening of child contacts less than 5 years old who were exposed to tuberculosis in the home. This will allow nurses in decentralized clinics to either start IPT for those asymptomatic patients and refer symptomatic patients for evaluation of TB disease and possible antituberculous therapy (ATT).
