Article Synopsis
- The World Health Organization and CDC have set goals for eliminating hepatitis C virus (HCV) by 2030, but the U.S. is falling short due to various barriers such as lack of awareness, misinformation, and treatment accessibility issues.
- The objective of the study was to create a high-quality educational app aimed at improving knowledge about HCV testing and treatment among patients and healthcare workers, featuring five interactive learning modules.
- The app was tested with 561 users, with over a third engaging with the training modules, where many spent significant time learning about HCV, indicating an interest in improving knowledge on the disease and its treatment process.
