TB Patient Knowledge and Adherence Study in Kampala, Uganda

A prospective cohort study of 80 adults initiating tuberculosis treatment in Kampala, Uganda. The dataset includes TB knowledge scores before and after routine education, self-reported medication adherence at multiple follow-up visits, and final treatment outcomes. It was authored by Tyler Scott Johnson and last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling the association between post-education knowledge scores and early medication adherence based on the reported incidence rate ratios.
• Analyzing the temporal trend of TB literacy rates from baseline through five-month follow-up visits.
• Investigating predictors of WHO-defined treatment success using demographic and clinical variables likely present in the data.

Strengths

• Includes longitudinal data with knowledge and adherence measurements at five distinct time points.
• Dataset is small (5.5 KB), facilitating quick download and initial exploration.
• Specific results are reported, such as a 25-point average increase in knowledge scores post-education.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is limited to 80 participants from a single city, which may affect generalizability.
