In the US, the national incidence of reported TB cases was 2.16 per 100,000 persons in 2020 and 2.37 per 100,000 persons in 2021. Furthermore, TB disproportionately affects minorities. Specifically, in 2018, 87% of reported TB cases occurred in racial and ethnic minorities in Mississippi. Data from TB patients from the Mississippi Department of Health (2011\u20132020) were used to examine the association between sociodemographic subgroups (race, age, place of birth, gender, homelessness, and alcohol use) with TB outcome variables. Of the 679 patients with active TB cases in Mississippi, 59.53% were Black, and 40.47% were White. The mean age was 46 \u00b1 ten years; 65.1% were male, and 34.9% were female. Among patients with previous TB infections, 70.8% were Black, and 29.2% were White. The rate of previous TB cases was significantly higher among US-born (87.5%) persons compared with non-US-born persons (12.5%). The study suggested that sociodemographic factors play a significant role in TB outcome variables. This research will help public health professionals to develop an effective TB intervention program that addresses sociodemographic factors in Mississippi.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diseases11010025","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,1]],"date-time":"2023-02-01T03:22:47Z","timestamp":1675221767000},"page":"25","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Association of Sociodemographic Factors with Tuberculosis Outcomes in Mississippi"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Omer","family":"Osman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Natural Sciences and Environmental Health, Mississippi Valley State University, Itta Bena, MS 38941, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3631-5296","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Azad R.","family":"Bhuiyan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Public Health, College of Health Sciences, Jackson State University, Jackson, MS 39213, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4238-7322","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amal K.","family":"Mitra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Public Health, College of Health Sciences, Jackson State University, Jackson, MS 39213, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9239-2723","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vincent L.","family":"Mendy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Public Health, College of Health Sciences, Jackson State University, Jackson, MS 39213, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sophia","family":"Leggett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Behavioral and Environmental Health, School of Public Health, College of Health Sciences, Jackson State University, Jackson, MS 39213, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8949-4980","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Clifton","family":"Addison","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Public Health, College of Health Sciences, Jackson State University, Jackson, MS 39213, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"211","DOI":"10.1128\/microbiolspec.TNMI7-0036-2016","article-title":"Tuberculosis-a world health organization perspective","volume":"5","author":"Sotgiu","year":"2017","journal-title":"Microbiol.
