Digital Psychosocial Interventions on Stigma and Health Outcomes in TB Patients
496 participantsStarted 2026-10
Plain-language summary
This study addresses the shortcomings of routine clinical management for tuberculosis (TB) patients by proposing psychosocial interventions targeting stigma, while investigating the current status of stigma, psychological issues, medication adherence, and drug resistance among tuberculosis patients. It analyzes the underlying mechanisms, integrates online mindfulness courses, digital cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and human-machine interactive dialogue modules to develop a digital psychosocial intervention platform. Through a randomized controlled trial, the study validates the impact of the platform on stigma and health outcomes among tuberculosis patients in China. Ultimately, the research aims to formulate a scalable digital psychosocial intervention technical solution, providing evidence-based support for optimizing China's comprehensive tuberculosis prevention and control model.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
