In collaboration with the Uganda TB Implementation Research Consortium, DOT to DAT is an implementation science study testing the use of Digital Adherence Technology in improving adherence to tuberculosis medication. We have enrolled 18 trial sites that meet eligibility criteria and randomized these sites into the study months when they will switch to the intervention. We have also begun the process of introducing 99DOTS at sites and training health facility staff to use the technology.
