The TRACING study is a prospective cohort study that is made up of two components. The first component seeks to train health care workers on tuberculosis infection control practices, assess the level of infection control, and measure the output of these trainings.

The second component of the study seeks to measure the risk of tuberculosis infections among health care workers.
Aim of the study is to provide evidence to strengthen TB infection control mechanism, and develop policies relevant for protecting health workers.
It is being implemented in at least 14 health facilities across the Federal Capital Territory and Nasarawa States. Facilities were selected based on the availability of HIV and TB services, and the number of patients accessing care in these facilities.
