The Tuberculosis Outreach nursing service is responsible for providing directly observed medication therapy (DOT) to active tuberculosis cases in the community. Nurses investigate contacts to active cases of TB and enforce control measures that may require incarceration of health law violators. Education is provided to individuals and groups in order to effect behavioral changes and increase the level of awareness of the disease in order to reduce the risk of exposure and transmission.
