Our Vision
A world without viral hepatitis
Our Mission
To end the viral hepatitis epidemics through leadership in science and public health practices
Goals
Goal 1: Reduce new viral hepatitis infections
Outcome Measures—reduce estimated new:
» HAV infections from 6,700 in 2017 to ≤ 4,000 in 2023 and ≤ 2,500 in 2028
» HBV infections from 22,200 in 2017 to ≤ 18,000 in 2023 and ≤ 2,200 in 2028
» HCV infections from 44,700 in 2017 to ≤ 35,000 in 2023 and ≤ 4,400 in 2028
Goal 2: Reduce viral hepatitis-related morbidity and mortality
Outcome Measures—reduce reported rate of:
» Hepatitis B-related deaths per 100,000 population from 0.46 in 2017 to ≤ 0.37 in 2023 and ≤ 0.16 in 2028
» Hepatitis C-related deaths per 100,000 population from 4.13 in 2017 to ≤ 3.00 in 2023 and ≤ 1.44 in 2028
Goal 3: Reduce viral hepatitis-related disparities
Outcome Measures—reduce reported rate of:
» New HBV infections among PWID* per 100,000 population from 1.4 in 2017 to ≤ 1.0 in 2023 and ≤ 0.1 in 2028
» New HCV infections among PWID* per 100,000 population from 2.3 in 2017 to ≤ 1.7 in 2023 and ≤ 0.2 in 2028
» Hepatitis B-related deaths among A/PIs per 100,000 population from 2.45 in 2017 to ≤ 1.84 in 2023 and ≤ 0.86 in 2028
» Hepatitis C-related deaths among AI/ANs per 100,000 population from 10.24 in 2017 to ≤ 7.17 in 2023 and ≤ 3.58 in 2028
» Hepatitis C-related deaths among non-Hispanic Blacks per 100,000 population from 7.03 in 2017 to ≤ 4.92 in 2023 and
≤ 2.46 in 2028
Goal 4: Establish comprehensive national viral hepatitis surveillance for public health action
Outcome Measures—increase proportion of:
» Funded jurisdictions that report all viral hepatitis notifiable conditions to CDC to 90% by 2025
» Funded jurisdictions that meet CDC quality standards for completeness and timeliness to 90% by 2025
» Funded jurisdictions that have analyzed and disseminated surveillance data for public health action to 90% by 2025
» All viral hepatitis clusters/outbreaks that are reported to CDC within 30 days to 90% by 2022
HAV = hepatitis A virus; HBV = hepatitis B virus; HCV = hepatitis C virus; PWID = people who inject drugs; A/PIs = Asians and Pacific Islanders;
AI/ANs = American Indians and Alaska Natives; *18-40 year-olds serve as a proxy for PWID.
