| B6. Active case finding and contact investigation for TB |
| B7. Identification and management of TB infection |
| B8. TB and co-infections: including HIV and diabetes |
| B9. Lung health (other than TB) and co-morbidities |
| B10. Tobacco and co-morbidities: including NCDs, TB and HIV |
| Track C: Policies and clinical & programmatic implementation |
| Scope for this track includes the review and evaluation of global and local policies, clinical practices and programmatic implementation across the spectrum of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of TB and other lung health conditions, including post-TB lung disease; including research on improvement of current policies and practices |
| C1. TB infection (LTBI) |
| C2. TB care and treatment in drug sensitive-TB |
| C3. TB care and treatment in drug resistant-TB |
| C4. Paediatric TB treatment and care |
| C5. Paediatric lung disease, excluding TB |
| C6. Maternal and child health: TB and lung disease |
| C7. Post-TB lung health |
| C8. Person-centred care |
| C9. Access to quality TB care and services |
| C10. Global and local policies and politics, including funding and accountability |
| C11. TB laboratory service implementation and operations |
| C12. TB education and training |
| C13. Tobacco control and tobacco industry interference |
| C14. MPOWER for tobacco control |
| Track D: Epidemiology |
| Scope for this track includes all aspects of epidemiology relating to TB, lung disease, tobacco control and co-morbidities such as HIV. |
| D1. TB epidemiology in adults |
| D2. TB epidemiology in children |
| D3. Epidemiology of COPD, pneumonia, asthma and other lung health conditions in adults |
| D4. Epidemiology of COPD, pneumonia, asthma and other lung health conditions in children |

| D6. TB infection control |
| D7. Post-TB lung health |
| D8. HIV-TB and other HIV-related lung health |
| D9. Modelling |
| D10. Health Economics |
| D11. Tobacco-related epidemiology |

| Track E: Politics, civil society and human rights |
| Scope includes research on and assessment of social, political, legal and human rights factors, stigma and discrimination influencing prevention, treatment, care and support for persons impacted by lung health issues, as well as communication of these issues to relevant stakeholders. |
| E1. Civil society, advocacy and community engagement |
| E2. Key affected populations: behavioural, social, and cultural issues and contexts |
| E3. Human rights |
| E4. Ethics |
| E5. Communication/social media |
| Track F: Zoonotic TB |
| Scope for this track includes studies on the epidemiology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment challenges posed by zoonotic tuberculosis caused primarily by Mycobacterium bovis; to assist animal and public health agencies in more effectively controlling this disease and collaborating on field and laboratory research. |
| F1. Basic science and zoonotic diagnostics |
| F2. Zoonotic treatment |
| F3. Zoonotic epidemiology |
| F4. One Health |
In addition: Europe Track
Would you be interested in presenting your proposal as part of the Europe Track?
Developed in partnership with The Union’s Europe Region, these sessions will focus on the TB and lung health experiences and challenges that are particularly pressing in Europe and typically explored at European Regional Conference.
