Addressing Hepatitis C within a Southwest Tribal Community.
Ethnicity & Disease 2018
Objective: The objective was to identify and treat segments of the local population at greatest risk for viral hepatitis C (HCV) infections.
Design: The tribal-based HCV initiatives included community involvement and outreach and HCV data were mined and analyzed. Medical records were reviewed, and new HCV tribal health policies and procedures were developed.
Results: A total of 251 tribal members (63.7% male) were diagnosed with HCV and had a positive confirmatory test between the years 2009 and 2014. Through community-based outreach efforts, 85 HCV patients were successfully contacted for education, field-testing, referral and follow-up, an increase of more than 300%.
Conclusions: The tribe increased ways to monitor HCV risk factors and communicable disease pathways.
