Background
In 2001, the Title I HIV Quality Management Program convened Ryan White Title I-funded TB DOT/DOPT providers to develop TB DOT/DOPT performance indicators and began to collect performance data for Ryan White Title I-funded TB DOT/DOPT programs. Data were first collected for calendar year 2001.
