Summary

This study looks at the social and economic challenges faced by people with chronic liver disease, like trouble paying for food or housing. Researchers will survey 400 patients and their doctors at Indiana University Health to find out what needs are most common and how patients want their care team to help. The goal is to create a better way to address these issues in routine liver care.
