Agreed practical measurements of the effectiveness of a programme of ambulant treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis are lacking. The desirable characteristics of a hypothetical index of effectiveness are outlined. An account is given of the establishment of measurements for a programme effectiveness index, with a brief description of the practice and diagnostic process concerned, and illustration and discussion of its application.
