Abstract

ObjectiveTo investigate the extent to which two different modes of administration (interview by a trained interviewer versus self-administration) yielded a comparable estimate of health-related quality of life (HRQL) in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB).MethodsThe study was conducted betwee...
