Hepatitis C testing study for emergency room patients
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how emergency department patients feel about a new, quick test for hepatitis C. If you have tested positive for hepatitis C antibodies but haven't had a follow-up test to confirm an active infection, you might be able to join and share your thoughts on this new testing approach.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether a patient-friendly electronic app given in the emergency department can increase what you know about hepatitis C and help you move to the next steps of care. It may be most helpful for people who are hepatitis C–positive but don’t yet have clear information about their status.
This trial studies point-of-care (on-site) testing to find hepatitis C in adults who are at higher risk. If hepatitis C is found, earlier detection can help you get connected to care sooner.
This study is setting up a program to test adults for hepatitis C antibodies using quick, point-of-care tests. It helps confirm how well this testing approach works in real-world care so more people can be identified and treated earlier.
This study collects basic information from adults who already had a quick, on-site hepatitis C (HCV) test. It aims to improve how point-of-care testing is done and documented, which may lead to faster follow-up and care.
This study compares two ways to treat hepatitis C: getting treatment at a local clinic near you, or the usual care at a central hospital. It aims to see if treatment at local clinics is safe, effective, and more convenient for patients.
This study tests a home test for hepatitis C that you can use yourself. It checks if adults can use the test correctly by following the instructions.
