Identifying facilitators and barriers to engaging in TB infection care is critical to preventing pediatric TB disease. We explored families\u2019 and clinicians\u2019 perspectives on pediatric TB infection diagnosis and care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted individual interviews and small group discussions with primary care and subspecialty clinicians, and individual interviews with caregivers of children diagnosed with TB infection. We sought to elicit facilitators and barriers to TB infection care engagement. We used applied thematic analysis to elucidate themes relating to care engagement, and organized themes using a cascade-grounded pediatric TB infection care engagement framework.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We enrolled 19 caregivers and 24 clinicians. Key themes pertaining to facilitators and barriers to care emerged that variably affected engagement at different steps of care. Clinic and health system themes included the application of risk identification strategies and communication of risk; care ecosystem accessibility; programs to reduce cost-related barriers; and medication adherence support. Patient- and family-level themes included TB knowledge and beliefs; trust in clinicians, tests, and medical institutions; behavioral skills; child development and parenting; and family resources.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Risk identification, education techniques, trust, family resources, TB stigma, and care ecosystem accessibility enabled or impeded care cascade engagement. Our results delineate an integrated pediatric TB infection care engagement framework that can inform multilevel interventions to improve retention in the pediatric TB infection care cascade.<\/jats:p>\n
