OBJECTIVES
We used a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach to plan and implement free TB skin testing at an adult education center to determine the efficacy of CBPR with voluntary tuberculosis (TB) screening and the prevalence of TB infection among immigrant and refugee populations.
METHODS
We formed a CBPR partnership to address TB screening at an adult education center that serves a large immigrant and refugee population in Rochester, Minnesota. We conducted focus groups involving educators, health providers, and students of the education center, and used this input to implement TB education and TB skin testing among the center's students.
RESULTS
A total of 259 adult learners volunteered to be skin-tested in April 2009; 48 (18.5%) had positive TB skin tests.
CONCLUSIONS
Our results imply that TB skin testing at adult education centers that serve large foreign-born populations may be effective. Our findings also show that a participatory process may enhance the willingness of foreign-born persons to participate in TB skin-testing efforts.
目的
我们采用社区参与式研究（CBPR）方法，在成人教育中心开展免费结核菌素皮肤试验，以确定 CBPR 在自愿性结核病（TB）筛查中的效果，以及移民和难民群体中结核感染的流行率。
方法
我们成立了一个 CBPR 合作关系，以在明尼苏达州罗切斯特的一个成人教育中心开展结核病筛查。我们组织了涉及教育工作者、卫生提供者和教育中心学生的焦点小组，并利用这些投入在该中心的学生中开展结核病教育和结核菌素皮肤试验。
结果
2009 年 4 月共有 259 名成年学习者自愿接受皮肤试验，其中 48 人（18.5%）结核菌素皮肤试验阳性。
结论
我们的结果表明，在为大量外国出生人口服务的成人教育中心进行结核菌素皮肤试验可能是有效的。我们的研究结果还表明，参与式过程可能会增强外国出生者参与结核菌素皮肤试验的意愿。
