Summary

This study tests whether peer mentors—people with similar experiences—can help individuals recently released from jail or prison get connected to Hepatitis C care and stay in treatment. About 80 participants will either receive a peer mentor or standard referral. The goal is to see if this support improves linkage to care and treatment completion.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
peer mentor support
What this could lead to
If this works, it could show that peer support helps more people get treated for Hepatitis C after leaving prison, leading to better health outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral, not a new drug, so it won't directly cure anyone.

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Dec 2021

Expected to finish

Aug 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
