HCV-ACCELERATE Advanced Care Coordination and Enhanced Linkage and Retention Among Transitional Re-Entrants
The overarching goal of this study is to develop a peer-based care coordination intervention for individuals with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) who were recently released from correctional settings to promote linkage to and retention in HCV care. The investigators will assess the existing barriers and facilitators of HCV treatment initiation, HCV treatment completion, and sustained virologic response among individuals recently released from a U.S. jail or prisons in a randomized control trial. This study will assess the feasibility and process measures of a peer-enhanced HCV care coordination intervention among recently incarcerated individuals.
