Service provider perceptions of incorporating hepatitis C testing technologies into standard practice
The expansion of HCV testing and care necessitates that more structural support (e.g., adequate funding and staffing) be offered to service providers. Despite the adaptability of providers, a one-size-fits-all approach will not suit the needs of all settings
Interventions to improve testing, linkage to care, and treatment for hepatitis C infection in prison
Effectiveness of periodic incentives on clinic attendance and hepatitis C testing and treatment for people who inject drugs
Integrating financial incentives into routine service delivery may be an effective strategy to increase clinic attendance and HCV testing among PWID. Further research is needed on optimising financial incentives for HCV treatment initiation
It's not just running the test”
This study illustrates several challenges to and enablers of adopting a decentralised HCV point-of-care testing program, highlighting the need to further explore what providers require to effectively implement these interventions
Patient preferences for simplified hepatitis C testing modalities among people at risk of hepatitis C infection in Australia
Findings highlight the importance of offering rapid, staff-assisted HCV testing to improve uptake among at-risk populations
Acceptability of hepatitis C testing using point-of-care testing and dried blood spot collection among people at risk of hepatitis C infection
Applying Sekhon's acceptability framework highlighted remaining service gaps to bridge client HCV testing experiences, including enhanced education on testing modalities and their results, an increased need for non-judgemental care, and the use of peer support in community settings
Professional identities and new technologies of hepatitis C point-of-care testing
Professional identities are shaping the rollout of HCV point-of-care testing. The prioritisation of risk, agility, and quality in professional identities shape the possibilities for HCV point-of-care testing. The analysis demonstrates the inextricability of new technology from the people who deliver it
Factors associated with hepatitis C treatment uptake among females of childbearing age in New South Wales, Australia
The reflections of health service providers on implementing contingency management for methamphetamine use disorder in Australia
Factors associated with hepatitis C testing, treatment, and current hepatitis C infection among men and women who inject drugs
Among 2,395 participants enrolled in ETHOS Engage, 66% (n = 1,591) were men, 33% (n = 786) women, and <1% (n = 18) did not identify as a man or woman. HCV testing history and current infection were similar among men and women. Among men or women ever eligible for HCV treatment (ever chronic HCV) (n = 1,242), women were less likely to report a history of HCV treatment compared to men (227/352, 64% vs. 631/890, 71%; p = 0.03). Among women, those ag…
Applying a stigma and time framework to facilitate equitable access to hepatitis C care among women who inject drugs
A stigma and time framework illuminated multiple overlapping stigmatizing experiences for women who inject drugs in HCV care and in turn, can help to inform tools and interventions to counter their impact
People engaged in opioid agonist treatment as a counterpublic during the Covid ‐19 pandemic in Australia
Perspectives and sentiments on contingency management from people who use methamphetamine
Health-related quality of life among people who inject drugs in Australia
The study findings provide important HRQoL data for economic evaluations, useful for guiding the allocation of resources for HCV elimination strategies and interventions among PWID
Typology of laws restricting access to methadone treatment in the United States
States with indicators of greater potential need for opioid use disorder treatment have the most restrictions, raising concerns about unmet treatment need
Interventions to enhance testing and linkage to treatment for hepatitis C infection for people who inject drugs
Trust and service engagement among people who inject drugs after release from prison
You'll come in and dose even in a global pandemic”
Rigidity in the delivery of OAT has been an impediment to achieving health and wellbeing over past decades. To sustain health-promoting environments for people receiving OAT, the wider impacts of the complex system should be acknowledged beyond narrowly defined outcomes relating solely to the medication. Centring people receiving OAT in their own care plans will ensure adaptations in the complex system of OAT provision are responsive to the indiv…
I just thought that was the best thing for me to do at this point’
Depot buprenorphine remains a promising treatment for OUD and offers potential to improve treatment adherence. Instances of restricted OAT choice and consumer concerns regarding a lack of agency must be addressed in order to enhance therapeutic relationships. Clinicians and other healthcare workers in this field also need greater access to information about depot buprenorphine to better address issues patients face during treatment. More research…
Optimising community health services in Australia for populations affected by stigmatised infections
Stigma in health services undermines diagnosis, treatment and successful health outcomes for all communities, but especially for those affected by blood-borne viruses and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). This study sought to examine experiences in accessing and receiving health services, including what characteristics promoted better health, safety and well-being for people with blood-borne viruses or STIss. It conducted 46 in-depth interv…
Not just one box that you tick off’ – Deconstructing the hepatitis C care cascade in the interferon-free direct acting antiviral era from the client perspective
A gender lens is needed in hepatitis C elimination research
It's a revolving door”
Perceptions of hepatitis C treatment and reinfection risk among HIV-positive men who have sex with men and engage in high risk behaviours for hepatitis C transmission
Structural competency in the post-prison period for people who inject drugs

Metaphors we die by
Medicine and language have had a tumultuous relationship at best. The two fields inform and describe each other. The methods of each have been applied to the other at various times in history. The medical symptom and the linguistic sign have much in common and yet are not the same. Nonetheless, literature offers us a perspective on our cultural perceptions of certain realities and disease is unmistakably one of the most ambiguous of those realiti…
Representing Suffering
El dolor de Colombia en los ojos de Botero is a departure thematically and philosophically for Fernando Botero in many ways because the artist frankly depicts the multi-faceted violence that rages in his country. The fifty works, oil paintings and drawings completed by the Medellín native between 1999 and 2004, were on display in the summer of 2006 at the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Currently several of the same pie…
Onomastic Emphasis” in Julia Álvarez's Saving the World
In her 2007 novel, Saving the World, Julia Álvarez uses alternating chapters to narrate both a modern tale and a corresponding historical saga. She employs nomenclature emphatically on multiple levels in the work in order to make the theme of identity central to the narrative. This study will examine the connection between name and character in Álavarez's novel. At the same time, it will also analyze the link between that connection and the vario…
Naming Clues to the Layers of Transgression in El crimen del Padre Amaro
Mexican director, Carlos Carrera, employs names in El crimen del Padre Amaro (2002) to illuminate the complex internal struggles of key characters as well as the power struggles between them. Names in the film also expose contemporary moral and religious dilemmas in Mexican society. The film is based on a nineteenth-century Portuguese novel of the same name. This investigation discusses the way in which nomenclature in the modern cinematic work r…
