Summary

This study tested whether offering rapid hepatitis C treatment with help from a peer mentor (someone who has been cured) works better than the usual referral to an outside clinic. 198 people who use drugs and were in an opioid treatment program took part. The goal was to see if more people start and finish treatment with the faster, supportive approach.
