This policy brief identifies some of the policy strategies that are being studied and implemented in communities across the country. Prepared by Bryant Cameron Webb, a rising leader in medicine and health policy, we expect that this brief will be useful for policymakers, public health practitioners, community organizations, researchers, and others committed to improving the health of people of color and eliminating health inequities. This analysis furthers the Joint Center’s long history of work to identify solutions to some of our nation’s most pressing policy issues, and ensure that people of color can continue to contribute to the fullest extent to the rich social, economic, and political life of the nation.

On May 3, 2010, the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies convened the Disparities in Hepatitis C Incidence, Treatment, and Outcomes Roundtable Discussion in Chicago, IL, with the goal of setting a national agenda to address the disproportionate impact of hepatitis C in communities of color. Held at the beginning of Hepatitis Awareness Month, this meeting was inspired by the need to raise awareness regarding the challenges of directing emerging resources and new treatment modalities to these communities in light of the high infection rates and harrowing consequences of chronic hepatitis C infection.  Speakers from areas of academia, clinical medicine, health policy and government presented their perspectives, research, potential strategies, and solutions for addressing current and emerging issues in hepatitis C in the United States. This report summarizes the most salient points from the roundtable discussion.
