Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
The proportion of participants who initiate Hepatitis C Virus treatment within 12 weeks of testing
Data will be presented in percentages and mean (SD) or median values (interquartile range), as appropriate. Chi square test or Fisher's exact test will be utilised, as appropriate, to examine between group differences.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Feasibility of recruitment through a peer-based referral incentivization scheme
Recruitment numbers
Time to HCV treatment initiation
Time to HCV treatment completion
Time to visit to confirm viral cure (e.g. sustained virological response, SVR12)
Participant perceptions and acceptability of being involved in a contingency management study will be assessed by study questionnaire
Feasibility of a contingency management intervention to enhance hepatitis C treatment uptake
Proportion of participants who enrolled in the study and where assigned treatment who commenced treatment.
