Abstract: In response to the viral
hepatitis epidemic in the United States,

Services (HHS) released the Action Plan
for the Prevention, Care & Treatment of
Viral Hepatitis (Action Plan) in May
2011 to provide a comprehensive

B and C. Implementation of the Action
Plan requires actions across a variety of
agencies including national, state/local
government, community-based
organizations, and the private sector.
The Evaluation of Implementation of the
Viral Hepatitis Action Plan will assess
state and local response to and activities
that support the Action Plan, identify
barriers to implementation and
strategies to address these barriers, and
inform future viral hepatitis efforts.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The purpose of this project
is to evaluate the state and local
response to and implementation of the
Action Plan and examine viral hepatitis
activities that are occurring in the four
jurisdictions that have been pre-selected
for the evaluation: Alabama,
Massachusetts, New York, and
Washington State. The information
collected through the evaluation will
position OASH to better understand
implementation of the Action Plan at
the state and local levels and barriers
that might be occurring in the selected
jurisdictions. The evaluation will also
serve to examine the landscape of viral
hepatitis activities that are taking place
in the selected jurisdictions. The results
of the evaluation will enable OASH to
understand and identify potential
strategies to strengthen local
implementation of the Action Plan,
address barriers, and inform future
implementation efforts.
Likely Respondents: State Viral
Hepatitis Prevention Coordinators (CDCfunded state health department staff);
other state and local health department
stakeholders such as HIV and
Immunization Program staff; national
organization representatives who are
involved in viral hepatitis program
development and advocacy; local viral
hepatitis stakeholders including health
care and substance abuse treatment
providers, non-profit community-based
organization staff and volunteers, and
others identified by the State Viral
Hepatitis Prevention Coordinator (see
above).
Burden Statement: The estimated
burden for data collection involves
scheduling and conducting key
informant interviews among a variety of
stakeholder groups including the CDCfunded Adult Viral Hepatitis Prevention
Coordinators, State and local health
departments, community-based
organizations, correctional facilities and
healthcare providers. These interviews
will be conducted in four states
(Alabama, Massachusetts, New York
and Washington). Up to twelve
additional interviews will also be
conducted with select national-level
stakeholders. The total annual burden
