The institution listed isfor the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.The purpose of this study is to conduct a multi-site, prospective, rantdomized trial to evaluate if a psychosocial intervention, aimed at assisting patients who were initially deferred from IFN therapy, can help patients follow through with recommendations that would culminate in becoming eligible for IFN therapy.

The goal is to determine whether the psychosocial INT can increase the number of patients who are appropriate for IFN therapy, compared to patients in SC.
