We therefore explored policy and practice relating to screening of active TB\n and latent TB infection (LTBI) in France.<jats:bold>METHODS:<\/jats:bold> We conducted an online national survey of French primary and secondary care physicians regarding their practices in relation to TB\/LTBI screening among migrants.<jats:bold>RESULTS:<\/jats:bold> 367 physicians responded to the questionnaire among\n which 195 (53.1%) were primary care physicians, 126 (34.3%) were TB specialists in secondary care, and 46 (12.5%) other physicians; 303 (85.5%) were involved daily in the care of migrants. Most respondents recommended systematic TB screening with chest X-ray for migrants from medium and high-incidence\n countries (71.9%). Primary care physicians were less likely to offer screening than physicians in other settings (aOR 0.21, 95% CI 0.09\u20130.48). 220 (61.8%) offered LTBI screening for children (&lt;15 years) and 34.0% for all migrants from high incidence countries.<jats:bold>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:bold>\n Improving awareness on TB screening is a critical next step to improve health outcomes in migrant groups and meet regional targets for tackling TB.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5588\/ijtld.21.0231","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,23]],"date-time":"2021-10-23T04:38:56Z","timestamp":1634963936000},"page":"903-910","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Screening for active and latent TB among migrants in France"],"prefix":"10.5588","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"L.","family":"Luan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Groupe hospitalier Sud Ile-de-France, Department of Public Health, Melun, Department of Social Epidemiology, Unit\u00e9 mixte de Recherche (UMR) 1136, Institut Pierre Louis d\u00b4\u00c9pid\u00e9miologie et de Sant\u00e9 Publique, Institut\n national de la Sant\u00e9 et de la Recherche m\u00e9dicale (INSERM), Sorbonne Universit\u00e9, Paris,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Fraisse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National network of TB control centres, Strasbourg Hospital, Strasbourg, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"H.","family":"Cordel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Tropical and Infectious Disease, H\u00f4pital Avicenne, Assistance publique - H\u00f4pitaux de Paris, H\u00f4pitaux universitaires Paris Seine Saint-Denis, Universit\u00e9 Sorbonne Paris Nord, Bobigny, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Charlois","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Paris Tuberculosis Control Centre, Strasbourg, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"F.","family":"M\u00e9cha\u00ef","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Tropical and Infectious Disease, H\u00f4pital Avicenne, Assistance publique - H\u00f4pitaux de Paris, H\u00f4pitaux universitaires Paris Seine Saint-Denis, Universit\u00e9 Sorbonne Paris Nord, Bobigny, France, Infection\n Antimicrobials Modelling Evolution, INSERM UMR 1137, Universit\u00e9 Sorbonne Paris Nord, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"Ibanez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social Epidemiology, Unit\u00e9 mixte de Recherche (UMR) 1136, Institut Pierre Louis d\u00b4\u00c9pid\u00e9miologie et de Sant\u00e9 Publique, Institut national de la Sant\u00e9 et de la Recherche m\u00e9dicale (INSERM),\n Sorbonne Universit\u00e9, Paris, Department of General Practice, Sorbonne Universit\u00e9, Paris, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Hargreaves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Migrant Health Research Group, Institute for Infection and Immunity, St George\u00b4s University of London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Mechain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bordeaux University Hospital, Bordeaux, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"N.","family":"Vignier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3554","container-title":["The International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ingentaconnect.com\/content\/iuatld\/ijtld\/2021\/00000025\/00000011\/art00006","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,23]],"date-time":"2021-10-23T04:39:05Z","timestamp":1634963945000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ingentaconnect.com\/content\/10.5588\/ijtld.21.0231"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,1]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"11","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,1]]}},"alternative-id":["1027-3719(20211101)25:11L.903;1-"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5588\/ijtld.21.0231","relation":{},"ISSN":["1027-3719"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1027-3719","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,1]]}}}
