EDUCATION

RESEARCH

 HepTREC designs, conducts, and evaluates hepatitis-related education and training programs for community members, hepatitis patients and their families, social services and health care professionals. Through our 

unique relationship with area universities we are able to offer accredited continuing medication education (CME) and CEU and CAC programs. We have trained more than 1,200 regional professionals and our Viral Hepatitis Education Kit is used by hundreds of organizations. We provide technical support to organizations offering hepatitis-related services. 

Our nationally recognized research has examined many aspects of hepatitis-related services with an eye to improving access to and quality of care.  Projects have examined perceptions of hepatitis C treatment initiation in methadone clients, adoption of HCV screening recommendations in primary care settings, the impact of hepatitis support groups, screening and vaccination in prenatal care and in drug recovery programs, barriers to hepatitis prevention, diagnosis and treatment,  epidemiology of hepatitis in drug treatment programs, and the impact of care coordination for under-insured hepatitis patients.
