The purpose of this data collection is
to follow-up with and assess newly-arrived persons in the United
States who received overseas tuberculosis classifications in order
to assist in the national effort to prevent new transmission of TB.
The information collected by The EDN Tuberculosis Follow-Up
Worksheet for Newly-Arrived Persons with Overseas Tuberculosis
Classifications, also commonly known as the TB Follow-Up Worksheet,
will provide outcomes for improving national TB prevention
programs. The Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ)
staff, along with other federal partners will use this information
to assess overseas panel physician performance, overseas prevention
activities, and TB control program performance in the United
States. Specifically, to improve overseas panel physician
performance and TB prevention activities, CDC needs information on
the U.S. domestic chest x-rays, chest x-ray comparison sputum smear
and culture, and diagnosis results along with U.S. domestic reviews
of overseas treatment. To monitor and assess U.S. domestic TB
program performance, CDC needs to collect data on all elements of
TB U.S. domestic follow-up evaluations, including chest x-rays,
diagnosis, and U.S. treatment outcomes.

The number of respondents has
increased due to more applicants requesting access to the EDN
system since 2017. Due to the increase in the number of respondents
and significant decrease in the number of US arrivals with TB
classifications in 2021, the number of responses per respondent is
expected to significantly decrease as well.
