In screening factors showed that overall average was good 4.14 (SD = 0.94).The highest level was productivity factor 4.36 (SD = 0.84).The study of factors promoting care and treatment models average of 3.94 (SD = 1.15). The context part is the hightiest level 4.07 (SD = 0.99) .Accelerating screening for latent tuberculosis should have appropriate guidelines for screening and treatment to reduce the incidence of TB in the form of local policies in risk groups such as prisons, in the form of project bases to find key policy promoting factors and integrated operations in related sectors.
