1 PREVENTING HEPATITIS C AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE SHAE CLAYTON-FREEDMAN NSW Going Viral Coordinator HEPATITIS NSW PETER MIDDLETON Senior Project Officer, BBI Prevention Programs SESLHD HARP UNIT

2 WHATS THE GO (ING VIRAL)? 1. Project background 2. Local project outcomes 3. Scale up to NSW Going Viral

3 WHY? National and NSW hepatitis C Strategies NSW Notification data Key research Starting to inject Increased risk Limited access to NSP

4 GOAL To increase knowledge of, and access to, hepatitis C prevention among young people who inject drugs or who are at risk of hepatitis C

5 AIMS To increase the capacity of youth orientated organisations to engage with young people around hepatitis C To enhance partnerships between youth services and NSPs/hepatitis C prevention services To enable youth services to incorporate hepatitis C prevention and education activities into their existing service delivery models

6 THREE STAGED PROJECT A one-day intensive hepatitis workshop Amazing Race style activity to allow first-hand local hepatitis C prevention services Funding and support to plan a hepatitis prevention project within participating youth services

7 NSW GOING VIRAL = VIRAL HEPATITIS HEALTH PROMOTION Creating supportive environments: Increasing the capacity of youth organisations to engage Strengthening community action: Develop localised hepatitis C education and prevention projects Developing personal skills: Participants and organisation skilling up Reorient health services: youth services to include hepatitis C prevention and education Enhancing partnerships between youth services and hepatitis C prevention services Consider alternative models of NSP provision

8 2012 PROJECT OUTCOMES

9 EVALUATION METHODS: Structured questionnaires : - Pre workshop - Post workshop Debriefing and qualitative feedback following the Amazing Race activity 6 month follow up questionnaires to assess knowledge retention and changes to workplace practices Mapping of local projects funded through Going Viral

10 2012 OUTCOMES Did we increase the capacity of youth services to engage young people on issues relating to hepatitis C? My knowledge and skills to manage hep C related issues is: In terms of talking about hep C to my clients my level of competence is: 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Pre Going Viral 1 month Post 6 months Post 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Pre Going Viral 1 month Post 6 months Post

11 2012 EXPERIENCES AND REFLECTIONS ON THE AMAZING RACE it was overwhelming for me because I did not want to be asking for needles.(but) I felt really comfortable Louisa accessing a secondary NSP service very nice, very non judgemental and actually gave us additional information. Jane and Kev accessing a secondary NSP service I felt I was very looked down on for doing that I feel sad for people having to do that every day accessing a Pharmacy Mirabelle Fairly disappointing we stood around banging and kicking it to get the money out Eric and Ernie accessing a malfunctioning ADM A reminder of how invasive and judgemental accessing services can be for clients especially young people. Seeing things from another perspective and having a greater understanding of that target groups needs

12 2012 OUTCOMES YOUTH SERVICE BASED HEPATITIS C PREVENTION PROJECTS 9 distinct hepatitis C related projects across participating youth services, including art programs, safe tattooing sessions and education workshops 2 youth services applied to participate in the NSW Needle & Syringe Program

13 CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS Active participation of project partners Assertive recruitment strategy Dedicated funding pool to support a grants program Suitable mix of NSP outlets/hepatitis C prevention services within a defined geographical area to support an Amazing Race activity Availability of on-going support and mentoring in the development of local hepatitis C projects within the youth services Capacity to support youth services in developing appropriate models of NSP service provision

14 SCALE UP TO NSW GOING VIRAL Phase one: SES/ISHLHD HARP Unit 2012 Phase two: 2013 partnership development across participating LHDs and state wide services Five LHDs committed funding to roll out over three years Central coordination and appointment of project officer by Hepatitis NSW
