It assesses the factors associated with TB (reported in adolescents, or in a household member). poverty and urban residence were associated with higher prevalence of TB and household TB exposure. This study concludes that prevalence of reported adolescent TB was lower than adult TB. Poverty and urban residence were risk factors for both TB and household TB exposure. Chronic undernutrition was highly prevalent among those reported to have TB and in those at risk of TB by virtue of having household TB exposure.
