Hepatitis Elimination Series in Clinical Liver Disease
More information about the Hepatitis Elimination Series: The Coalition for Global Hepatitis Elimination, in partnership with Clinical Liver Disease (CLD), a journal of the American Association for the Study of Liver Disease, is launching a new series to highlight efforts towards advancing hepatitis B and C elimination globally. This series will provide an opportunity to publish timely reports on real world experience in planning, designing, implementing, and evaluating hepatitis elimination programs or projects. With a greater emphasis on the “how-to” of hepatitis elimination, this series will more readily facilitate sharing of lessons learned and new data across the hepatitis community of practice. These reports can feature descriptions of: • The elimination planning process, including creating partnerships, analysis of strategic information, mobilization of civil and political support, and budgeting; • The elimination program design, including objectives, target populations and settings, inclusion of key populations, and financing plan; • Strategies and outcomes associated with implementation of community or clinic-based interventions to prevent, detect, care for, and treat people living with viral hepatitis, and increase community awareness and/or change policy; • Changes in prevention and treatment priorities as revealed by program outcomes, public health surveillance or other strategic health information; • Concise syntheses of systematic reviews to inform program planning and design; Reports should preferably reflect recent efforts (i.e. within the last 2 years). Each submission should be 800–1,200 words in length and may contain up to 10 references and 5 graphics.
