The TDF was useful in identifying factors associated with the acceptability of HCV screening among PWEI. Future interventions should seek to leverage peer networks, integrate point-of-care HCV testing, and provide whole-of-sector education and wrap-around services to better support PWEI and contribute to broader efforts to eliminate HCV among incarcerated populations
