      abstract = {Directly Observed Therapy (DOT) is the standard of care  for tuberculosis (TB) treatment in the United States and  has been shown to improve adherence and outcomes. Despite  its widespread use in Oregon, a low-incidence state, the  personnel costs of DOT case management have not been well  quantified. This study aimed to estimate DOT-related  personnel costs by measuring the time spent per TB case by  Nurse Case Managers and Outreach Workers and identifying  predictors of increased management time and cost. Improved  understanding of these costs can support more accurate  budget planning and equitable allocation of state funding  to county health departments, helping sustain uniform and  effective TB control programs across Oregon.},
