From 1987 to 1992 (the period of TB resurgence and antedating increased funding), there was a decline in several measures used by TB programs for outcomes of contact investigations. From 1993 to 1998 (the period after increases in TB funds), there was an observable improvement in the program indices. Four program indices for contacts and two for TB cases (directly observed therapy and completion of therapy) were statistically associated ( p\u22640.01) with the decline in TB incident cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions.<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These analyses suggest that expanded TB program activities resulted in the reduction in national TB cases and underscore the importance of treatment completion for TB disease and latent TB infection. Based on these results, we propose that further improvements in these activities will accelerate the decline of TB in the United States.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/003335490612100202","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,3]],"date-time":"2017-07-03T22:30:38Z","timestamp":1499121038000},"page":"108-115","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Improved Program Activities are Associated with Decreasing Tuberculosis Incidence in the United States"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"121","author":[{"given":"Mark N.","family":"Lobato","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Tuberculosis Elimination, National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yong-Cheng","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Tuberculosis Elimination, National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA"},{"name":"Office of Biostatistics, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, Rockville, MD [At the time of the study, the author was affiliated with the Division of Tuberculosis Elimination, National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA.]"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jose E.","family":"Becerra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Tuberculosis Elimination, National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Patricia M.","family":"Simone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Tuberculosis Elimination, National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA"},{"name":"Division of Global Migration and Quarantine, National Center for Infectious Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA [At the time of the study, the author was affiliated with the Division of Tuberculosis Elimination, National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA.]"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kenneth G.","family":"Castro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Tuberculosis Elimination, National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-003335490612100202","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1994.03520070055038"},{"key":"bibr2-003335490612100202","volume-title":"Reported tuberculosis in the United States, 2004 [cited 2005 Oct 17]","author":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (US)","year":"2005"},{"key":"bibr3-003335490612100202","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1995.03530120037038"},{"key":"bibr4-003335490612100202","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199507273330406"},{"key":"bibr5-003335490612100202","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199404283301702"},{"key":"bibr6-003335490612100202","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-130-12-199906150-00004"},{"key":"bibr7-003335490612100202","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1623","DOI":"10.1164\/ajrccm\/146.6.1623","volume":"146","author":"Control of tuberculosis in the United States","year":"1992","journal-title":"Am Rev Respir Dis"},{"key":"bibr8-003335490612100202","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (US).
