Effectiveness Evaluation of Public Health Workshops in Tuberculosis Prevention and Treatment within Urban Villages of Cameroon

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant public health concern in urban villages of Cameroon, where access to healthcare services is often limited and socio-economic factors contribute to high TB prevalence. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including quantitative surveys (N=300) and qualitative interviews (n=50). Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The workshop attendance rate averaged at 72%, with a significant improvement in knowledge scores from baseline to post-workshop (p<0.01), indicating positive learning outcomes. Public health workshops significantly enhanced TB prevention and treatment awareness within urban villages, warranting further implementation and evaluation. Continued support for community-based public health initiatives is recommended to sustain these improvements in knowledge and behaviour change.
