Abstract
Forty-four tuberculosis (TB) officers who attended the National TB Seminar were given a multiple choice questionnaire (MCQ), based on information in the TB manual. They were asked to complete the MCQ in their hospitals, using the manual, and return it within 6 weeks to the Central Unit. Thirty-one (70%) officers returned completed MCQs. There was negative marking for incorrect answers. The mean mark was 69%. Twelve (39%) officers scored 80% or higher and four (13%) scored below 50%. MCQ assessments may be a useful way of stimulating TB officers to read TB manuals and other guidelines.
