HCV-related services in substance abuse treatment settings: The NIDA Clinical Trials Network.
As part of protocol CTN-0012 (Characteristics of Screening, Evaluation, and Treatment of Sexually Transmitted Infections in Substance Abuse Treatment Programs), all Nodes and CTPs in the CTN were asked to complete surveys describing the hepatitis C virus (HCV) related services offered in their treatment programs.
This presentation describes the process by which these surveys were created, distributed, and collected, and offers data demonstrating substantial variation in the availability of HCV-related services in CTN treatment programs. These are preliminary results of a larger study that aims to fill the information gap about available services for infectious disease in substance abuse treatment programs.
