description WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC? In the absence of effective vaccines, tuberculosis preventive treatment (TPT) is essential for the rapid decrease in incidences of tuberculosis (TB), and healthcare workers’ acceptability is vital to implementing TPT. WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT? Overall, 86.5% of healthcare workers knew what TPT was. Most (56.3%) healthcare workers agreed to implement TPT among high-risk groups with latent tuberculosis infection. Drug resistance, adverse events, and unguaranteed efficacy were three main barriers for healthcare workers in accepting TPT. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE? To further promote and implement TPT in China, practical measures included policy support, high-quality training for healthcare workers, and enhanced public awareness of TB prevention and control.
