SUMMARY:Webinar: "Addressing Latent Tuberculosis Infection and Tuberculosis in Asian and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Communities: The Role of Health Centers for Testing and Treatment"
DESCRIPTION:Join us with Tenzin Kunor from We Are TB and Dr. Sheldon Riklon from UAMS Health Family Medical Center in Fayetteville\, AR and Community Clinic in Northwest Arkansas to learn more about a TB survivor’s experience\, and the role of community health centers around latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and tuberculosis (TB) disease testing and treatment. \nIn 2019\, a total of 8\,916 TB disease cases were reported in the United States and its Territories. Out of those cases\, TB disease was reported in 3\,150 Asians. Asians and Native Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders are disproportionately impacted by TB at a greater rate compared to other racial and ethnic groups. For example\, the rate of TB disease is 32 times higher for Asians than whites. Considering the complex health and social needs of the Asian and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander communities\, health centers play a critical role as a safety net provider and community partner to address special and vulnerable populations with increased risk of TB. \nThis webinar will share a patient survivor experience with TB; discuss successful strategies for chronic disease management and LTBI/TB screening\, testing\, and treatment in high need populations in community health care settings; and share information about the TB Elimination Alliance initiative. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDevelop an understanding of a patient survivor’s experience with TB and addressing TB-related stigma\nDiscuss successful strategies for chronic disease management and LTBI/TB screening\, testing\, and treatment in high need populations in community health care settings\nLearn about the TB Elimination Alliance initiative and training opportunities for community health centers and community-based organizations\n\nIntended Audience:  \nHealth centers\, community-based organizations\, public health departments\, Primary Care Associations (PCAs)\, Health Center Controlled Networks (HCCN)\, and organizations interested and/or invested in TB elimination and LTBI treatment among at-risk communities. \nWebinar Resources:  \n\nWebinar Slides \nWebinar Recording
