Abstract

Novel, effective tuberculosis (TB) training strategies are needed in developing settings to scale up training and improve TB management at facility level. This study evaluated the feasibility of implementing an online childhood TB training course for community-based health-care workers in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, and measured its impact on knowledge. Training sessions were convened and participants completed the course independently. A total of 220 primary care participants completed pre- and post-training tests. The mean knowledge increase was 8% (95% confidence interval 7.0-8.8, P < 0.001). The course proved an acceptable, versatile option for decentralised training in childhood TB, provided that the technology requirements can be met.
