  This guide and the related set of training modules for health facility staff were prepared by the Stop TB Department, World Health Organization, Geneva, through a contract with ACT International, Atlanta, Georgia, USA. The project was coordinated by Karin Bergstrom; Fabio Luelmo was the main technical adviser. The American Lung Association (ALA), the American Thoracic Society (ATS), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Atlanta, and the Royal Netherlands Tuberculosis Association (KNCV) have all contributed to the development of the modules through the Task Force Training (TFT) of the Tuberculosis Coalition for Technical Assistance (TBCTA). The modules were field-tested in Malawi through the support of the National Tuberculosis Control Programme of Malawi.
