This study identified contextual factors that influence the implementation of chest X-ray guided systematic tuberculosis screening among clinically high-risk groups that healthcare facilities and health ministries may use for decision-making. Addressing the barriers identified by the study would help to improve the implementation of chest X-rays for improved tuberculosis case detection and prompt treatment in clinically high-risk groups.
