Summary: Data on the lived experiences of youth and their caregivers seeking and sustaining tuberculosis (TB) treatment in low income communities are scarce. Qualitative interviews were conducted with children ages 4-17 diagnosed with TB and their caregivers from rural and semi-urban northern Tanzania. Themes emerged regarding the socioemotional impacts of TB on households, including adverse effects on work productivity, and facilitators and obstacles to TB care, such as financial hardship and transportation challenges. The study highlights the total financial burden borne by low wealth families seeking pediatric TB care and suggests solutions such as local consultations and medications, and increased access to TB-specific communal funds.

Summary: From the perspective of mental health professionals, a professional video consultation should not be inferior to an in-person consultation but should offer additional value, such as increased access and accommodation of patient needs and wishes. At the same time, the expected treatment quality should be based on individual patient assessments and should not be compromised by communication or therapeutic tasks. The implementation process and organizational support also impact the professionals' attitudes and experiences.

Summary: This study analyzed the development of sports tours in Iran's tourism industry by conducting 15 interviews with experts and using Glaser's approach principles.

It is important to remove limiting factors and strengthen facilitating factors for the development of sports tours in Iran.
