Did the clinical officers who performed field study leave their printed information and come later after some days? Did the people of participated in the study were they supposed to be one year older? Communities were not qualified to participate in the study if they had a prior isoniazid preventive treatment (ITP), a positive TST, or a history of TB? 4 The data for the study was collected through mapping all Tuberculosis cases from 1985 to 1995 and taking all positive TST reactors from 1993 to 1995. Also, we defined the greatest clusters and identified the highest incidences where we trained clinical officers to perform door-to-door services to all communities (Ward et al., 2010). All positive Tuberculin skin test (TST) people were directed to a mobile clinic for clinical evaluation and radiography. 5 The analysis for the study was done through Fisher’s test and curled Pearson chi-square test to relate the cumulative occurrence and magnitudes of all individuals who are affected. In other words, the analysis for the study focused on subsequent TB occurrence, TST reactions, participation of individuals, and isoniazid treatments (Ward et al., 2010). Additionally, the Wilcoxon rank-sum test and multivariate logistic regression were used to relate and determine all independent variables used during the study. 6 The statistical test used above was very important since the field workers could determine how all independent variables used during the study affect the increase of Tu...
