Abstract
Integration of diabetes mellitus screening in home visits for contact tracing for tuberculosis could identify hidden patients with either tuberculosis or diabetes mellitus. However, poor compliance to the first home screening has been reported. A second time visit not only increases screening compliance but also the cost. This study aimed to determine if an additional second time visit was cost effective based on the health system perspective of the tuberculosis contact tracing program in Myanmar.
