Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study provides Hepatitis C virus screening to the members of the World Trade Center Health Program followed at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai born during 1945-1965, and linkage to care for those found infected. The study will also determine if exposure to human remains, blood and/or bodily fluids during the World Trade Center Health Program activities are associated with Hepatitis C virus infection. These findings would be relevant to the larger United States population, especially to persons born during 1945-1965 who are at high risk of Hepatitis C virus infection.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of the project is to determine if the World Trade Center Health Program cohort is at an increased risk of Hepatitis C virus infection, determine if human exposure to human remains, blood and/or body fluids during the World Trade Center recovery activities is associated with increased risk of Hepatitis C virus infection, and to determine if referral to a co-located site for Hepatitis C virus care is associated with improved linkage to Hepatitis C virus care in the members of the World Trade Center Health Program born during 1945 through 1965.
