Background: Refugees are disproportionately affected by latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and active tuberculosis (TB) compared to the general US population. More than 50% of TB cases in the US occur in foreign-born persons. In addition, approximately 80% of TB cases in the US are a result of reactivation of LTBI. Treatment of LTBI is effective to prevent and control TB. Unfortunately, LTBI treatment completion rates in the foreign-born are less than 50%. Methods: After conducting a retrospective chart review to establish baseline rates of treatment completion in our LTBI refugee patients, we implemented a model of prospective chart review, initial …

Discussion:
This analysis revealed the differences in which physicians in primary care complete CRC screening steps. The approach and completion of screening steps varied greatly among practices.
There was a correlation between the quantitative data and the qualitative data. The analysis from both methodologies produced similar results and supports each other's assessment.
All of the practices analyzed possessed one of the essential elements (a physician recommendation) which is the foundation for increased screening. All of the practices have the potential to expand upon this foundation in order to ensure that all eligible patients are approached and screened for CRC.
The …
