"Quick, simple, and friendly": Understanding the acceptability and accessibility of a nurse and peer-led, mobile model of hepatitis C care adjacent to community corrections in Australia
Multiple elements of the C No More model increased client-perceived service accessibility, including being located close to government services, point-of-care testing, and the person-centred, peer-based and non-judgemental nurse-led care provided. This study supports the implementation of other peer and nurse-led models of hepatitis C care in similar settings.
