简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patient education improves Hepatitis C screening in the primary care setting.
详细描述
Hepatitis C is a chronic, asymptomatic infection that progresses to liver cirrhosis and cancer in the later stages if left untreated. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends a one-time screening for high risk birth cohort between the years 1945-1965. Prior studies have evaluated methods to improve screening for hepatitis c with focus on increasing awareness in health professionals. Targets included nursing staff and electronic medical records. This study targets providing patients with education resources to see if screening rates improve.
