Description of the data and file structure
Data were collected from March 8, 2022, to May 31, 2022 at eight health facilities in Cameroon. Information provided by participants was entered into the Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) platform.
In this data set, age and BMI have been grouped to mask these indirect identifiers. The information on specific exclusion criteria have been removed; the variable screen_failure indicates which people were excluded during screening. The variables indicating whether the person has a history of TB treatment, whether they were hospitalized and how often they smoke have been removed.
