This document reports on a study that assessed awareness of DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment, Short-course) among medical practitioners in Mysore, India. The study found that overall awareness and usage of DOTS was low, particularly among doctors who graduated before DOTS was included in the curriculum and those practicing in the private sector. However, doctors working in government sectors felt DOTS was more effective than other treatment methods. The study concludes there is a need for improved communication between tuberculosis programs and doctors, and suggestions are made to enhance DOTS education and engagement of private medical practitioners.
