This resulting toolkit is a practical guide  intended to assist users to become advocates  for palliative care in a practical and effective 
way. It is not necessarily a resource to read  from cover to cover; rather, it can also be used  selectively to each reader’s needs to engage  audiences and... ensure that there is a real  understanding of the need for palliative care.  It should also be read in conjunction with the  supplementary resources listed at the end of  each of the toolkit’s sections.

                                                                We systematically reviewed Medline as well as the references of published review articles for relevant studies of adherence to multidrug treatment of both drug-susceptible and drug-resistant TB through February 3, 2018. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) as well as prospective and retro...spective cohort studies (CSs) with an internal or external control group that evaluated any adherence intervention and conducted a meta-analysis of their impact on TB treatment outcomes. Our search identified 7,729 articles, of which 129 met the inclusion criteria for quantitative analysis. Seven adherence categories were identified, including DOT offered by different providers and at various locations, reminders and tracers, incentives and enablers, patient education, digital technologies (short message services [SMSs] via mobile phones and video-observed therapy [VOT]), staff education, and combinations of these interventions.
