本研究的目的是比较非洲裔美国人和非非洲裔美国人丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）患者的自我报告的HCV肝病症状和心理社会特征，通常受其影响的309例患者参加了一项随机对照试验。非裔美国人（n= 196）认为，与非裔美国人相比，他们更依赖宗教/精神来应对HCV。这项研究的结果是鼓励公共卫生工作和计划的基础，以寻求与非洲裔美国人的信仰和宗教社区的伙伴关系，以确定和治疗未确诊的HCV病例，并提高对HCV的认识。
The purpose of this study was to compare African American and non-African American hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients on self-reported symptoms of HCV liver disease and psychosocial characteristics commonly affected by it in a sample of 309 patients enrolled in a randomized controlled trial. African Americans (n= 196) rated a higher reliance on religion/spirituality for coping with HCV compared to non-African Americans. This study’s findings are a basis for encouragement of public health efforts and programs to seek partnerships with African American faith and religious communities to identify and treat undiagnosed cases of HCV and promote HCV awareness.
