Clinical Trial Summary

This study addresses a difficult barrier to hepatitis C elimination, specifically development and maintenance of a productive relationship between the health care provider and patient to ensure both treatment success and engagement in harm reduction services. Improvements in these domains may be observed through the use of a technique called "Motivational Interviewing" (MI). The aim of this study is to determine whether a customized motivational interviewing curriculum by general primary care and addictions medicine primary care providers changes rates of curative hepatitis C therapy completion.
