About one in nine Canadians who are infected with hepatitis C spend time in a correctional facility each year. With high rates of current injection drug use and needle sharing, this population may account for a large proportion of new infections. Any national strategy to address hepatitis C should include a focus on persons in correctional facilities, and should build on existing evidence regarding primary, secondary and tertiary prevention.
每年,每九名感染丙型肝炎的加拿大人中就有一人会在惩教机构中度过一段时间。由于当前注射吸毒和共用针头的比例很高,这一人群可能占新感染病例的很大一部分。任何应对丙型肝炎的国家战略都应将重点放在惩教机构中的人员身上,并应以现有的关于一级、二级和三级预防的证据为基础。
