What is the burden of tuberculosis and how may it be controlled at a population level?

Address each of the following bullet points:

• Identify the risk factors for spread of tuberculosis at an individual and population level. Base your answer on published evidence and answer in general terms rather than for a single population. Compare the impact of these different risk factors and identify, based on evidence, which are the most important to address.
• Assess the burden of tuberculosis in your country and discuss how this compares regionally and globally. Critically evaluate the reliability of the data you are using.
