Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The World Health Organization's Global Tuberculosis Programme (WHO-GTB) issues evidence-informed guideline recommendations on tuberculosis (TB). These recommendations are used by decision-makers, guideline developers and other stakeholders. In an effort to improve the accessibility and usability of these recommendations, a new eTB catalogue of recommendations has been developed. This study aims to compare the accessibility of the new eTB catalogue to the earlier method of accessing recommendations directed through the general WHO website.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a two-arm superiority randomized controlled trial. The primary objective is to compare the accessibility of information between the eTB catalogue (intervention) and WHO TB (comparison). Secondary outcomes include understanding of the information, satisfaction of catalogue presentation, and preference toward the catalogue. Current and potential users of TB recommendations will be recruited. Data will be collected using a survey with demographic questions and subsequent 1:1 randomization to the intervention. Superiority will be declared if the mean difference in accessibility is 0.5 or greater for the intervention arm on the seven-point Likert scale.

Inclusion Criteria

* Stakeholders who consider themselves to be users or potential users of tuberculosis (TB) recommendations will be eligible for participation. For the purposes of this trial, a user is defined as someone who has previously accessed TB guidelines, recommendations or policy advice, and a potential user is someone who plans to access TB guidelines, recommendations, or policy advice in the future.
* Participants may be part of any group that has a stake in TB, including the public, healthcare providers, policymakers, or researchers. Participants may be from either low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) or high-income countries (HIC).
* They may also vary in levels of education and previous TB work experience.
