Predicted choice and acceptability of regimens for tuberculosis preventive treatment among people living with HIV in Uganda - a discrete choice experiment.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Little is known about how people living with HIV would choose if offered different tuberculosis preventive treatment (TPT) regimens, and under which conditions they would accept treatment. Actionable evidence regarding preference for TPT is needed to inform policy and the development of novel TPT regimens.

Methods

In each task, participants first chose between two hypothetical TPT regimens with differing treatment features (number of pills, frequency, duration, adjusted antiretroviral dosage, and side effects). Second, they answered if they would accept the selected treatment, versus taking no treatment. We simulated predicted
