Geographically Focused Collocated Hepatitis C Screening and Treatment in Los Angeles ’s Skid Row

ConclusionThe favorable linkage to care and cure outcomes in our study suggests that homeless persons may be more likely to engage in HCV screening and treatment when these services are located in the community for their use. Our study further lends support to the efficacy of care coordination programs to encourage movement through the HCV care continuum in vulnerable populations.
