This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Objective:
To analyze the spatial distribution of tuberculosis in individuals under 15 years old and the socioeconomic factors in Paraíba, Brazil, 2007-2016.Methods:
Ecological study, with Sinan's data, considering the municipality as the unit of analysis. The spatial distribution of the incidence was performed, the local empirical Bayesian method and Moran's statistics were applied. Socioeconomic data were crossed to identify areas of social prosperity.Results:
426 cases were reported, with an average incidence of 4.5/100 thousand inhabitants. Moran's index = 0.59 (p=0.010). The Moran Map revealed a concentration of cases in children under 15 in 38 municipalities with a high priority of care, in conglomerates in the high-high and low-low patterns, in the east and northwest of the state, coincided with areas of low social prosperity.Conclusion:
There are clusters with greater transmission of tuberculosis, indicating priority areas for approaching tuberculosis.RESUMO
Objetivo:
Analisar a distribuição espacial da tuberculose em indivíduos menores de 15 anos de idade e fatores socioeconômicos na Paraíba, Brasil, 2007-2016.Métodos:
Estudo ecológico, com dados do Sinan, tendo-se o município como unidade de análise. Realizou-se distribuição espacial da incidência, aplicou-se o método bayesiano empírico local e a estatística de Moran. Dados socioeconômicos foram cruzados, para identificação das áreas de prosperidade social.Resultados:
Foram notificados 426 casos, com incidência média de 4,5/100 mil habitantes. O índice de Moran foi de 0,59 (p-valor=0,010). O Moran Map revelou concentração de casos em menores de 15 anos em 38 municípios com alta prioridade da atenção, em conglomerados nos padrões alto-alto e baixo-baixo, nas regiões leste e noroeste do estado, coincidindo com áreas de baixa prosperidade social.Conclusão:
Há clusters com maior transmissão da tuberculose, apontando áreas prioritárias para abordagem da tuberculose.
