This research proposal will look at strategies aimed at achieving the eventual elimination of viral hepatitis, both nationally and internationally. New therapies for hepatitis C have recently become available which are highly effective and have few side effects. However, many challenges exist in the successful implementation of elimination programs. This research will examine some of these, including barriers to diagnosis and linkage, reaching high risk populations, and re-infection rates.
