Summary

HEALTH SYSTEMS AND HUMAN RESOURCES

Teach Back Method: Improving Healthcare Provider Counseling of Pediatric Patients with TB and their Caregivers in Chongqing, China. Program/Project Purpose: The world’s medical community is launching a dramatically accelerated fight against tuberculosis (TB) and those most affected by it: the poorest, most vulnerable, socially marginalized, and inequitably served. From among these vulnerable groups are children. Outcome & Evaluation: Two gaps were discovered: (1) lack of patient education materials such as handouts or posters and (2) the need for healthcare provider training on patient education delivery To address these gaps, hospital staff were trained on the Teach-Back Method, an effective, time efficient, and widely used patient education technique targeted to improve patient adherence to treatment.
