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听a multi-agency joint participatory research design workshop on the topic at 皇家华人 in April 2016.

Outputs and Impacts

This report听from bdi (the biosafety design initiative) draws together the findings of听the joint UK and Tanzanian initiative on the design of diagnostic environments in custodial settings. The workshops facilitated dialogue and mutual learning of the emerging evidence bases听for both TB transmission and听the design of听custodial environments.
