Epidemiologic and Economic Modeling
Modeling epidemics and economics of disease provide useful information on how to prevent the greatest amount of disease with existing resources. In 2014, CDC funded a 5-year cooperative agreement, the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP) Epidemiologic and Economic Modeling Agreement (NEEMA), to support modeling activities to inform and, ultimately, improve the effectiveness of public health programs and activities supported by NCHHSTP.

The TB Epidemiologic Studies Consortium (TBESC)
The TB Epidemiologic Studies Consortium (TBESC) was established to strengthen, focus, and coordinate tuberculosis (TB) research. The TBESC is designed to build the scientific research capacities of state and metropolitan TB control programs, participating laboratories, academic institutions, hospitals, and both non- and for-profit organizations.
Information on TBESC, TBTC, behavioral and social science research, and epidemiologic and economic modeling. Provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
On World TB Day, the Global Fund partnership celebrates the major advances made against tuberculosis, while it shines a light on a harsh truth. Despite being an entirely curable illness, tuberculosis is now the leading infectious disease killer in the world, taking the lives of 1.5 million people each year – even more than HIV.
It is often the most vulnerable and the marginalized in society who are affected by TB, such as the very poor, migrants, prisoners, refugees, miners and people who use drugs. TB also takes a major toll on children. Too often, children with TB remain in the shadows and undiagnosed, with symptoms for TB frequently mistaken for other common childhood illnesses. A total of 64 percent of children with TB are never diagnosed, due to a lack of awareness and failing health systems.
It was World TB Day yesterday. A reminder GIF of how anyone (celebrity or not, rich or poor) can get the disease and how it is possible to fight it. In India, treatment is available for free across all DOTS centres. But what we need to do away with is the stigma.
