ABSTRACT:
Introduction
•Tuberculosis (TB) often results from reactivation in high-risk groups, highlighting the importance of latent TB infection (LTBI) screening and treatment, especially among non–US-born university students

•Low treatment completion rates at our student health clinic prompted this study to find ways to improve LTBI outcomes
