Each year, there are approximately 8,000–10,000 hepatitis C virus infection related deaths and 3,000–5,000 hepatitis B virus infection related deaths. Current surveillance activities are not designed to monitor long-term outcomes and merely report diagnosed cases of hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus infections. In order to investigate longterm effects of new therapies for chronic viral hepatitis B and C infections, we need longitudinal observational cohorts of persons chronically infected with hepatitis B and/or C virus. Information from longitudinal cohorts of patients with chronic hepatitis B and C virus infection will provide an understanding of the spectrum and natural history and, the public health impact of chronic hepatitis disease. adherence to prescribed therapy, which is essential in order to be able to correctly interpret clinical outcomes data. These data will be used to describe the spectrum and natural history of disease associated with chronic hepatitis B and C virus infection, to determine the extent of health burden and mortality related to chronic viral hepatitis, describe the characteristics of persons in care for chronic viral hepatitis infection, describe access to and effectiveness of recommended preventive and therapeutic interventions, and evaluate ongoing risk behaviors and their impact on health outcomes. Participation in this data collection is voluntary and there is no cost to respondents other than their time. The proposed project will establish a longitudinal observational cohort of patients with chronic viral hepatitis in one or more clinical centers. A patient behavior questionnaire will be included with the clinical information that physicians routinely collect when evaluating and examining a patient (i.e. during physician-patient interactions). The information linking behaviors with the clinical information from this longitudinal study will enable better care and management of persons with chronic hepatitis B and C virus infections and reduce hepatitis-related mortality. The total annual burden for this project is expected to be 500 hours. The information to be collected in the patient behavior questionnaire includes demographic data, alcohol or drug use, access to care, quality of life, and ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOURS Number of respondents Respondents Patients with chronic hepatitis B or C virus infection ......................................
