520 3 |a BACKGROUND: The hepatitis C virus (HCV) prevalence rate among injection drug users (IDUs) in North America is 55.2%, with 1.41 million individuals estimated to be HCV-antibody positive. Studies have shown the effectiveness of syringe service programs (SSPs) alone, medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) alone, or SSP+MOUD combination in reducing HCV transmission among opioid IDUs. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of SSP alone, MOUD alone, and SSP+MOUD combination in preventing HCV cases among opioid IDUs in the United States.
