Abstract

Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (qualitative). The objectives are as follows:. To synthesize end-user and professional user perspectives and experiences with low-complexity nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) for detection of tuberculosis and tuberculosis drug resistance. Review question What are the perspectives and experiences of people providing and receiving low-complexity NAATs to diagnose tuberculosis and tuberculosis drug resistance? Answering this question will allow us to identify the implications for effective implementation and health equity.
