Ethics approval and consent to participate
: The Medical Ethical Committee (METC) of the Academic Medical Centre Amsterdam (AMC) waived the need for full ethical approval of the protocol of the TB-ENDPoint project as Dutch public health services responsible for TB prevention, care and control, are licensed to conduct LTBI screening, which was conducted as part of the existing screening policy. All interviewees received verbal and written information about the study, the confidentiality and anonymization of personal data use and analysis, and the right to withdraw from the study at any time. Consequently, all interviewees gave written informed consent for audiotaping and analysis of interviews. We followed the ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, adopted by the World Medical Association (WMA Declaration of Helsinki 2000).
: Authors IS, DTH and JS developed the topic guide specifically for the studies, and as such have permission to publish them alongside the manuscript.
: The authors declare that they have no competing interests.
