The Liver Foundation offers a brief educational guide that teaches patients about the hepatitis C virus. The brochure, which is available at http://www.liverfoundation.org/downloads/alf_download_24.pdf, uses a Q&A format to explain what hepatitis C is, how it is spread, who is at risk, and how it is diagnosed and treated.
