Assessing Healthcare Outcomes of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Positive Patients Counseled for Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Patient counseling for HCV associated CVD risk factors for Hepatitis C and Atherosclerosis. Completed, enrolled 231 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The study aims to compare the effect of a cardiovascular education package intervention on treatment-seeking behavioral outcomes of HCV+ patients. This prospective multicenter trial will compare outcomes between the intervention group (HCV+ patients receiving the enhanced education package) and the control group (HCV+ patients receiving the standard of care, the basic education package). The primary outcome measured will be successful linkage to hepatology for a discussion of HCV treatment options. The secondary outcome measured will be linkage to primary care for chronic disease management.
