LiverWELL · An Interview with Dr Adrian Farrugia on Hepatitis C impediments to treatment

We talk to Dr Adrian Farrugia from the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society, La Trobe University.

Adrian’s research focuses on opioid overdose and take-home naloxone, experiences of hepatitis C treatment, and young people’s drug consumption and drug education.

And he is currently researching the uptake and experiences of hepatitis C treatment in Australia. This qualitative project collects the stories of people affected by hepatitis C to understand the meanings of treatment and identify impediments to uptake in an era focused on elimination.
