A Video-Based HCV Curriculum for Active Injection Drug Users

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hepatitis C, Opiate Dependence

In brief

The investigators hypothesize that a well-designed hepatitis C (HCV) video education curriculum for active drug injectors will lead to measurable improvements in HCV testing rates, HAV and HBV vaccination rates, as well as knowledge and attitudes about this condition. The investigators will use a short 10 minute video designed for active drug users to and assess its impact vs. a usual-care counseling intervention. The investigators will measure and compare its impact at baseline, 4 weeks after video viewing, and 12 weeks after intervention.
