Health Benefits, Costs, and Cost-Effectiveness of Jail-Based Hepatitis C Elimination Strategies
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to evaluate the health benefits, costs, and cost-effectiveness of jail-based interventions for hepatitis C virus (HCV) elimination among people who inject drugs. Their analysis found that a combined strategy of testing, treatment, and navigation services significantly reduced HCV infections and related deaths, achieving an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of $11,000 per quality-adjusted life-year gained, which is well below typical cost-effectiveness thresholds. The study concludes that implementing these interventions in jails is a viable and cost-effective public health strategy.
