220 Hepatitis C: Navigating the Path to Elimination in the Federal Prison System
Description

The World Health Organization's goal of eliminating hepatitis C by 2030 emphasizes micro-elimination strategies targeting high-risk populations, such as incarcerated individuals, who exhibit a higher prevalence and vulnerability to HCV infection. This study highlights improved screening rates among incarcerated individuals over time but identifies persistent disparities in screening and treatment across demographic and educational subgroups. Targeted interventions are crucial to addressing these gaps and support broader hepatitis C elimination efforts.
