Résumé :	[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS k0P2RR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Although communication has recently gained increased recognition in tuberculosis (TB) control programs, current thinking and practice remains boxed within the epistemological boundaries of the "bio-medical" model. The latter posits that information about transmission and care is crucial to promote early diagnosis and treatment. However, when populations confront a series of socio-cultural and structural barriers to access TB care, medical knowledge and awareness alone cannot effectively promote ideal practices. The article suggests that communication programs need to adopt a "social rationality" perspective based on nuanced understanding of community experience of TB. Suggestions are offered about how communication contributes to addressing challenges in TB control.
