Conditions studied: Hepatitis C, Chronic; AUD
In brief
Subjects are being asked to take part in a research study to test two levels of alcohol services for patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) who drink alcohol. The two levels differ in intensity of alcohol services and in whether or not they include a focus on liver health. The study will look at which level of alcohol services best decreases alcohol use among patients with HCV.
