It is recognized that screening programs for high-risk populations are urgently needed since almost half of HCV infections are undiagnosed.[Citatipon] Although the US Preventive Services Task Force does not yet recommend annual HCV screening in high-risk populations,[citation] the Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) encourages yearly screening for people with HCV risk factors.11 Given the high HCV prevalence among the SMI population[citation] adopting VAMC screening practices in public mental health clinics might be worth considering.
