HCV Anonymous Positive Attitudes:
Audience
In the United States, almost every person knows someone with
HCV. As of
September 2000, it is estimated that 5 million Americans (some
estimates go as high as 15 million) are infected with hepatitis
C, and that there are up to 230,000 new hepatitis C infections
in the U.S. every year. About
8,000 to 10,000 Americans die of HCV annually, and the toll is
expected to triple in the next decade or two.
It
is estimated that globally there are over 200 million people
chronically infected with Hepatitis C, and this large reservoir
of infected persons constitutes a daunting source of potential
new infections. HCV
infection is the most common type of chronic viral hepatitis in
the developed world.
Over
the next 10-20 years chronic hepatitis C is predicted to become
a major burden on the health care system as patients who are
currently asymptomatic with relatively mild disease progress to
end-stage liver disease.
It
is quite possible that the need for this manuscript will surpass
many of the other 12-Step Programs.
Eventually it will need to be published in every major
language.
Style
The
book is written in a straightforward, common sense style, in
easily understood terms. Simply
put, the book is informative and practical without being
preachy.
Existing
Products
There
is no comparable title available.
There
are many books on hepatitis C.
However, this manuscript is different from the others.
It is a workbook. It
offers guidelines for working a 12-Step program.
In addition, it provides guidelines to help build a
society of concerned individuals.
It
can help the afflicted to get in harmony with their inner selves
by examining their lives and receiving assistance from their
peers at meetings. It
will help families and friends understand just what the
afflicted person is going through.
Readers
will choose to buy this book because:
There
are meetings for people with HCV being held worldwide.
This manuscript can be made available to everyone who has
been diagnosed with HCV at a clinic.
Positive
Attitudes offers guidelines for a variety of meeting formats.
