Abstract

Active case finding (ACF) strategies must be a good value for money if they are to be widely used in national TB programs. Our goal
was to determine whether community health workers' (CHWs') awareness of families' health status could reduce the cost of care. 3
Studies' advantages and disadvantages. As part of a practical active case-finding method, community health workers who already
worked for the health care system were used. Used a close control location to measure the intervention's incremental impact. Without
negatively compromising the provision of other health services for which they are accountable. The efficiency of the ACF program.
ACF programs that use CHWs who are already working in the healthcare system are doable, affordable, and don't hurt the other services
that CHWs provide in the healthcare system.
