The Cedar Project: Providing culturally-safe, strengths-based case management for the delivery of optimal hepatitis C care and treatment among Indigenous people who use drugs in Vancouver and Prince George, British Columbia
EF 2015-16
Résumé
This proposed study builds upon the previous successes of the Cedar Project - a prospective cohort study involving young Indigenous people who use drugs in Vancouver and Prince George, BC - to focus specifically on the feasibility and effectiveness of delivering direct acting antiviral (DAA) HCV treatments within a culturally-safe, strengths-based case management (SBCM) model of care. We anticipate that this 3-year observational study will make essential contributions regarding the delivery of HCV treatments among Indigenous people who use drugs in Canada including: 1) determining of the feasibility of delivering DAA HCV treatment in the "real world" using a model of care that both acknowledges trauma and builds upon strengths; 2) generation of scientific evidence that describes clinical and social predictors and outcomes related to successful DAA HCV treatment, and; 3) inform best practices for delivery of DAA HCV treatment among this population.
