Abstract
The study included 76 newly diagnosed sputum-smear positive PTB patients, aged 18-65 years old, who were recruited from the Out-Patient Department of De La Salle University Medical Center and Dasmarinas City Health Office I and II in Dasmarinas, Cavite. CEA is comparable to DOTS education in improving adherence; but unlike DOTS education alone, its corrects misperceptions and adds information that would increase the knowledge about the disease to the patients themselves and their respective treatment partners. Hence, CEA influenced the 100% adherence rate of the prescription refill, sputum conversion and cure rate of both groups.
