The Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH) wants to hear from you! They are currently seeking a patient group input report for AbbVie 2D–GT4 (ombitasvir / paritaprevir / ritonavir) and, therefore, the Pacific Hep C Network (PHCN) needs your thoughts, opinions, and experiences for our report.
CADTH Patient Group Input Reports
The patient group input reports requested by CADTH are an important step towards getting new treatments for hep C more widely available in Canada and BC.
The reports help ensure that health outcomes and issues important to patients are incorporated into the Common Drug Review process in a formal and meaningful way. They help ensure that you can be a part of the process!
PHCN’s Patient Input Surveys
Once again, PHCN’s patient input survey has been redesigned to, hopefully, help you easily voice your opinions and share your experiences. There are two PHCN Patient Input Surveys.
The first survey was written for those with hep C or those who have had hep C. It includes 14 questions, some multiple choice, and is divided into 4 sections. The most important of these sections are ‘Section 2 of 4: Your Expectations of AbbVie 2D–GT4 (ombitasvir/ paritaprevir/ ritonavir)’ and ‘Section 3 of 4: Your Experience with AbbVie 2D–GT4’, if you have been treated with AbbVie 2D-GT4. If you haven’t taken AbbVie 2D–GT4, the survey lets you skip this section.
Take this survey if you are living with hep C / if you have had hep C. This survey is open to everyone who has or had hep C. It doesn’t discriminate based on hep C genotype.
The second survey was written for loved ones or caregivers of those living with hep C/have had hep C. It includes 7 questions divided into 2 sections.
Take this survey if you are a caregiver or loved one of someone who is living with hep C/had hep C.
If the surveys don’t focus on something you would like to add, please use a textbox and include it as one of your answers. Some of the questions require answers but others were written to, hopefully, help you share your experiences or voice your opinion.
Survey responses are anonymous (we don’t know your name or other information about you). The information gathered will be used as part of a patient group input report for CADTH. By completing the survey you accept that PHCN can use the information gathered by it in our patient group input report for CADTH.
The survey links will only remain open until September 21st, so please complete a survey and share the survey links with others ASAP/before the September rush.
Email the Hepatitis C Treatment Information Project for more information about the surveys or for more information about AbbVie 2D–GT4 (ombitasvir / paritaprevir / ritonavir).
