Hello all,

I am wondering who out there has attempted to adopt the newest drug regimens as recommended by the ATS/CDC/IDSA last August? Specifically, has anyone switched to administering DOT daily throughout the 8 weeks of the intensive phase without the assistance of video DOT? 

If so, kudos to you! And can you please share a little bit about how you were able to achieve this.

Any and all input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
