    Abstract Alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) is a major healthcare/economic burden and one of the leading causes of liver transplantation. New epidemiological studies that detail the course of the disease are needed since, despite its high prevalence, it is still a stigmatised condition with underlying pathology. Alcoholic hepatitis, as the highest expression of ALD, has high morbidity. Current treatments have suboptimal results with the exception of liver transplantation. Epidemiological studies must also be developed to improve prevention and implement early diagnosis policies. It is essential to develop multidisciplinary health models that allow the liver transplantation candidate to be approached in a holistic way, both for indication and follow up. The implementation of alcohol consumption biomarkers (ethyl glucuronide, phosphatidylethanol) can assist in diagnosing and supporting recovery. There are several initiatives with new therapies that must be validated to establish their effectiveness and indication.

    Abstract Hepatitis C (HCV) management has dramatically changed with the advent of direct-acting antivirals. Their high efficacy and safety are changing the paradigm of detection and treatment of patients with an active HCV infection. Following the latest guidelines, the path to elimination of hepatitis C will be achieved by simplifying management.

    Abstract Background: Carceral settings are a key focus of the 2030 WHO global hepatitis C virus (HCV) elimination goals. Despite this, access to HCV testing and treatment services in prisons remains low globally, limiting opportunities to achieve these goals. Advocacy efforts are needed to address service inequities and mobilise support for enhanced HCV programs in prisons globally. INHSU Prisons, a special interest group of the International Network on Health and Hepatitis in Substance Users (INHSU) is developing a Prisons HCV Advocacy Toolkit to address this need. Here we present findings of a mixed study to inform the development of the Toolkit.
    Methods: The aim of this study was to inform the development of the Toolkit, including understanding barriers for scaling up prison-based HCV services globally and advocacy needs to address these. An online survey (n = 181) and in-depth interviews (n = 25) were conducted with key stakeholders from countries of different economic status globally. Quantitative data were statistically analysed using R Studio and qualitative data were analysed thematically. The data sets were merged using a convergent design.
    Results: Key barriers for enhanced prison-based HCV services included lack of political will and action, lack of prison-based healthcare resources, and poor awareness about HCV and the importance of prison-based HCV services. These findings underscore how advocacy efforts are needed to motivate policymakers to prioritise HCV healthcare in prisons and ensure funds are available for services (including diagnostic tools and treatment, healthcare teams to implement services, and systems to measure their success). Advocacy resources to raise the awareness of policy makers, people working in the prison sector, and incarcerated populations were also identified as key to increasing HCV service uptake.
    Conclusion: The Toolkit has the potential to support advocacy efforts for reaching HCV elimination targets. By understanding the advocacy needs of potential Toolkit end-users, the findings can inform its development and increase its accessibility, acceptability, and uptake for a globally diverse audience.
