  • Description:
    Transmission of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a reemerging public health threat driven by the opioid crisis and increases in injection drug use (IDU). The rate of estimated acute hepatitis C cases quadrupled from 2009 to 2018, with IDU being the most common risk behavior identified among cases with reported risk exposures. In response to this threat, some state and local jurisdictions have developed hepatitis elimination strategic plans. However, hepatitis elimination planning in all jurisdictions is needed to ensure meaningful and equitable progress in HCV elimination nationwide.

    This guidance document is intended to aid state and local health departments in the development of strategic plans focused on the elimination of HCV as a public health threat in their jurisdiction. Key elements of strategic planning covered in this document include identifying and engaging partners; assessing the burden of hepatitis C; selecting HCV elimination goals, objectives, and strategies; and choosing indicators to measure progress (Figure 1). The framework for the strategic plan guidance mirrors the structure of the Viral Hepatitis National Strategic Plan: A Roadmap to Elimination for the United States 2021–2025, but with an emphasis on HCV elimination. This document is not prescriptive, but rather presents a menu of approaches, strategies, and indicators that jurisdictions can consider when implementing their HCV elimination strategic plans.
