Title:National TB Prevalence Surveys. WHO Global Task Force on TB Impact Measurement
Type:Conference (invitation only - avec invitation)
Terms of Reference:A one-day seminar in association with the 42nd World Conference on Lung Health, Lille, France.
Venue: Novotel Lille Centre Grand Place, Lille.

The WHO Global Task Force of TB Impact Measurement has made major efforts to facilitate national TB prevalence surveys in Asia and Africa since 2008. By 2010, substantial progress was evident. Very intense task force seminars were held in 2009 during the Union Conference in Cancun (focused on the development and expert review of survey protocols) and in 2010 in Berlin (focused on survey planning and preparations). In 2011, following major progress in several countries, we will focus on three topics: survey results; data management; and data analysis. The seminar will also include an overview of global progress in the design and implementation of prevalence surveys, presentation of results and lessons learnt from major national surveys completed in recent years, and lectures by experts on data management and analysis with country examples.

Target audience: NTP managers; survey coordinators; researchers and consultants who are advising or providing direct support to national TB prevalence surveys.

Number of places: 50. Of the available places, 25 will be allocated to members of the Global Task Force on TB Impact Measurement's subgroup on prevalence surveys and representatives from countries where a prevalence survey is strongly recommended by the Task Force. The remaining 25 places will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis (up to a maximum of 3 people from one country). A few people may be kept on standby and notified at 0900 on 27 October if places have become available, following registration.

Pre-Registration: Send an e-mail to tbimpactmeasurement@who.int with cc to Dr Wataru Kashino, kashinow@who.int by 7 October : Please cut and paste the following form.
The result of applications for places and further details about the seminar will be sent by 12 October by e-mail.
