A recent study conducted by Columbia University focused on the development of a differentiated service delivery (DSD) framework for individuals with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and HIV/AIDS. The study aimed to identify patterns of medication adherence and barriers to treatment in order to inform the development of the framework. The research found that while the majority of participants maintained high adherence to their medication, a subpopulation experienced significant declines in adherence over time. The study concluded that a DSD framework for MDR-TB/HIV should provide intensified support for adherence-challenged individuals and address psychosocial, behavioral, and structural challenges associated with different treatment stages.
