Sample of the study was the cadres in Tirtomoyo who met inclusion criteria set by the researchers with total number of 202 cadres. The sampling technique was purposive sampling, and the inclusion criteria included: active person, in a healthy state, not currently receiving inpatient care in hospital, and agree to participate in the study. Subjects completed the questionnaire consisting of sociodemographic data, knowledge, behavior, and the role of cadre. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 22. The behavior of the health cadres was found to significantly correlate to the role of cadres in early detection of new TB cases with p value of 0.039 (OR 0.121– 0.946). The health cadres play an essential role, and active screening for TB detection was more effective than passive screening. Early diagnosis would affect the success of the TB treatment program.
