Community members in general were positive about the idea of patients being treated at home: the majority of women and young women in two focus groups thought home was the best place for people with MDR-TB to be treated; and nearly half the young men in another focus group preferred home - the other half were either unsure or said they would prefer hospital due to perceptions that treatment would be more likely to be delivered on time. No participants of these community focus group discussions mentioned a fear of MDR-TB transmission to themselves associated with patients being treated at home within the community.
