Awareness is a very important parameter to be assessed in order to provide baseline data to assist the decision makers to plan for and deliver an effective TB control programme. The study evaluated public awareness of the prevalence of TB in Anambra West LGA, Anambra State, South Eastern Nigeria. Using a descriptive cross–sectional survey method, ten communities were randomly chosen from the LGA in which twenty respondents each were also randomly selected. Altogether, twenty respondents were used in the study. The result revealed that majority of the participants were conversant with the causes (105), mode of transmission (120), major signs and symptoms (170) of TB infection and barriers to treatment and prevention of the TB disease. Majority of the respondents were also aware of the barriers associated with TB control/treatment which included language barrier (180), reduced number of DOTs, Means of transportation (183) and stigmatization (120). This extent of awareness was facilitated by mass media. However, the result showed that most of the respondents (110 and 105) perceived traditional medicine to be a TB preventive measure and cure respectively with no significant association. Therefore, the investigation of this study revealed intermediate level of TB awareness among the studied population.
