J Pediatric Infect Dis Soc. 2024 Nov 21;13(Supplement_5):S179-S182. doi: 10.1093/jpids/piae092.

Abstract

We developed a Project ECHO® module to offer prenatal providers training on engaging in shared decision-making about hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment during pregnancy. In this pilot program, the ECHO module addressing HCV during pregnancy and the potential benefits of treatment was associated with increases in self-efficacy scores among participants.
