Social vulnerability in persons with chronic hepatitis C virus infection is associated with a higher risk of prescription opioid use

Abstract Prescription opioid use (POU) is often a precursor to opioid use disorder (OUD) and subsequent consequences. Persons with chronic hepatitis C virus infection (CHC) may be at a higher risk of POU due to a higher comorbidity burden and social vulnerability factors. We sought to determine the...
