Brief Summary: The investigators hypothesize that a well-designed hepatitis C HCVvideo education curriculum for high-risk drug users will show measurable benefits in improving HCV testing hepatitis A and B vaccinations and HCV knowledge attitudes and motivations toward transmission behavior change The investigators will use a 4-part modular video series designed for at-risk drug users and in this 12 week study will assess its impact on testingvaccinations as well as knowledge attitudes and motivations in methadone-maintained drug users as compared to a usual-care intervention
Detailed Description: Injection drug users are at high risk for contracting hepatitis C HCV Very few culturally-specific educational tools have been developed to improve outcomes in this population We hypothesize that measurable improvements in HCV testing hepatitis A and B vaccinations and testable knowledge attitudes and motivations may be elicited by such a curriculum

In this study we will investigate the impact of a 4-module short video educational series on these measures in in-treatment drug users maintained on methadone Subjects will be enrolled in 3 sequential cohorts of 150 each usual care a 4 weekly sequential video cohort and a single-session intervention in which the 4 videos are viewed at once Subjects will undergo written testing for knowledge attitudes about transmission behaviors and motivations toward behavior change before the intervention 4 weeks after the intervention and 12 weeks after the intervention Additionally we will measure and compare the rates of HCV testing and HAVHBV vaccinations before and at the 12-week time point in all cohorts
