Some limitations of surveillance data: Data do not include hepatitis-infected persons who have not been tested Data do not include persons whose positive test results have not been reported to the MDH Persons are assumed to be alive unless the MDH has knowledge of their death. Persons whose most recently reported state of residence was Minnesota are assumed to be currently residing in Minnesota unless the MDH has knowledge of their relocation.

What you can do… Viral hepatitis is complex. Be informed, but know where to go for answers. Know your agencies risk populations and the behaviors of greatest concern Proactively screen for risk Resources are scarce. Adopt harm reduction as a strategy to reduce burden of illness. Be prepared with a referral plan.

Be Informed… Know where to go for easy-to-use and reliable information HCV advocate: Hepatitis B Foundation: Request training for your agency MDH provides free, on-site education for your staff tailored to your needs

4 th Annual Hepatitis Symposium Aug 18, 2011 Presented by: Minnesota Department of Health and MATEC Purpose: provide a forum for discussing the viral hepatitis prevention, diagnosis, management, and treatment needs of Minnesotans. bring together clinical and community program partners to encourage and reinforce principles of integration and improvements in the continuum of care.

Screening: Sexual and Drug Use History Identifies those at highest risk for becoming infected or for spreading infection to others Overlaps with key questions for identifying HIV/ STD risk Prevents missed opportunities for prevention and Harm Reduction Counseling

Key Questions Injection drug use, even once? Unprotected oral, vaginal, or anal sex ? History of STD*, HIV, or Hepatitis infections? *STD or HIV infection causes changes in the bodys defense systems allowing the virus to transmit easier.

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) identified a need for the standardization of risk assessment questions and concepts to ensure better collection of information and in meeting the resulting needs. The purpose of this guide and accompanying tool is to: increase consistency and improve risk reduction messages, increase consistency and accuracy of client assessments, insure uniformity of referrals to appropriate resources, and improve quality control and standards. hiv/riskassessment/index.html Integrated Viral Hepatitis, STD, and HIV Risk Assessment

Chronic Hepatitis C HCV leads to ~10,000 deaths per year from chronic liver disease. Vaccinate for HAV/HBV when appropriate. Encourage reduction or cessation of alcohol or drug use. Explore anti-viral treatment options. Remember, treatment is NOT FOR EVERYONE!

Referral Plan Advanced testing: Provide advanced testing or refer to clinics that can, ex: Red Door, Room 111, HCMC, etc Harm Reduction, SA services Social stability and mental health services are often necessary.
