Description
For sample adults who reported knowing "a lot," "some," or "a little" about tuberculosis (TB) (TBKNOW),TBKNOWSPRED indicates whether respondents believed that they knew how TB is transmitted from one person to another.
Those with an affirmative response in TBKNOWSPRED were asked a follow-up question requiring them to pick specific modes of TB transmission from a list.
Respondents who answered "yes" to TBKNOWSPRED were asked if TB could be spread by:
- Breathing the air around a person who is sick with TB (TBSICKAIR)
- Through food and water (TBFOOD)
- By sexual intercourse (TBSEX)
- It is inherited from parents (TBINHERIT)
- From mosquito or other insect bites (TBINSECT)
