A new online course for Aboriginal people at risk or affected by hepatitis C and front line service providers is now available from the Aboriginal Working Group of Hepatitis Education Canada.
The new online tool is designed to help people manage their self-care, whether they are at risk for catching hepatitis C, newly infected, or have lived with hepatitis C for many years and includes:
- basic information about hepatitis C, how it’s spread, how to get tested
- the steps involved to get treatment
- 8 mini-videos on how to prepare for treatment
- a side menu for easy navigation to the part of the course you want to see
- pre-post knowledge check quizzes
Narrated with minimal text, the course includes videos, quizzes, and downloadable materials and takes 30-40 minutes to complete. A certificate is issued to those who register when the non-credit course is completed.
