Types of CasefindingTypes of Casefinding
• Active casefindingActive casefinding– More thoroughMore thorough– More accurateMore accurate– Costs moreCosts more
• Passive casefindingPassive casefinding– Self reporting less reliableSelf reporting less reliable– Dependent on others to ID casesDependent on others to ID cases– More likely to miss casesMore likely to miss cases
