Background: Data on the prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in TB household contacts (HHCs) are limited, yet important to inform integrated screening and care for NCD within contact investigations. It is also unclear if screening these contacts reveals more people with NCDs than individuals in the same neighbourhood.
Method: We conducted a pilot cross-sectional study in South Africa and Tanzania, enrolling adult HHCs of TB and individuals in neighbourhood households (controls).
