Abstract Background The advent of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs)—a form hepatitis C (HCV) treatment associated with shorter course and greater efficacy—offers an unprecedented opportunity to eliminate HCV, but only if care delivery systems are developed extend people who inject drugs (PWID). To support the design a community-pharmacy program, we explored perspectives PWID chronic HCV regard barriers, motivators, preferences, prior experiences related pharmacists. Methods We conducted...

People who inject drugs (PWID) are a key population for treatment with direct-acting antiviral medications (DAAs) to eliminate hepatitis C virus (HCV). We developed Pharmacist, Physician, and Patient Navigator Collaborative Care Model (PPP-CCM) delivery of HCV treatment; this study describes clinical outcomes related (initial evaluation, initiation, completion, cure), as well patient satisfaction.
