Abstract
This qualitative study assessed facilitators and barriers to initiation and completion of a hepatitis C virus treatment intervention for people experiencing homelessness (PEH). Community-based participatory methods were used to engage with PEH and treatment providers who cared for them. Three main themes served to inform a culturally-sensitive program for PEH.
