This, the last of three studies examining aspects of tuberculosis (TB) control in South Africa, ascertained the views of the consumer--the TB patient. Aspects such as the impact of contracting TB on employment opportunities and social life, difficulties in getting treatment, and knowledge of TB were studied in a sample population of urban black working-class TB patients. Patients had difficulties in getting treatment at centralized points, and health education was not effective. Poor socio-economic conditions were also important in the experience of the TB sufferer.
这是三项关于南非结核病控制情况研究中的最后一项，它确定了消费者即结核病患者的看法。在城市黑人工人阶级结核病患者样本群体中，研究了诸如感染结核病对就业机会和社会生活的影响、获得治疗的困难以及结核病知识等方面。患者在集中地点接受治疗存在困难，且健康教育效果不佳。社会经济条件差在结核病患者的经历中也很重要。
