Non-blinded, randomized controlled trial. In-depth qualitative interviews assess attitudes and barriers to treatment. In Phase 1, potential participants will be pulled from a convenience sample at a Portland clinic providing care for the urban area. An initial target sample of 100 Hepatitis C positive participants will be enrolled for DBS validation. Power will be reassessed based on feedback from receiver operating curve model and additional participants enrolled up to a total of 100 Hepatitis C Positive participants, if necessary. A total of 500 potential participants can be screened expecting 1 in every 4 participants will be positive HCV. In Phase 2, rural peer care coordinators (PCCs) and research assistants recruit up to 200 PWUD participants from high-needs rural Oregon counties. Study staff specifically target untreated populations recruited from local syringe exchange programs and direct community outreach (e.g. community barbeques, parks, homeless shelters, food pantries, etc.). Participants are encouraged to refer others for study screening. A subset of up to 40 study participants will complete in-depth qualitative interviews regarding their experiences of hepatitis C treatment.
