Implementation research to improve hepatitis C testing and treatment in rural and regional Australia

I will use implementation research to increase access to hepatitis C testing and treatment in primary care in Western Victoria, and eliminate hepatitis C as a public health threat. Using data from this and a similar project in Cairns, I will determine which interventions are cost-effective in regional settings. Finally, I will help underserved regional areas in Australia to have better access to cost-effective testing and treatment in primary care, especially for people who inject drugs.
