Title: Advancing the health and wellness of BC First Nations within the hepatitis C prevention, care, and treatment cascade using integrated clinical and administrative data
EF 2018-19
Résumé
Hepatitis C (HCV) infection is a critical public health problem in Canada that disproportionately impacts Indigenous people, leading to higher risk for liver-related illnesses and mortality. The British Columbia Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) and the First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) have partnered with the goal of using population-level clinical and administrative data to identify gaps in the HCV cascade of care (prevention, diagnosis, linkage with care, treatment, and cure) between First Nations and non-First Nations people in BC. The objectives of this research are to: 1) Identify and compare gaps or leakage across the HCV cascade of care between First Nations and non-First Nations in BC; 2) Work with the FNHA to identify measures within the integrated data which may serve as strengths-based wellness indicators within First Nations communities, and that support access to the HCV cascade of care, and; 3) Apply the strengths-based wellness indicators identified by the FNHA to highlight areas where HCV prevention and engagement in the HCV cascade of care may be enhanced to better meet the needs of BC First Nations.
