HBV & Liver Cancer Connection
Learn the Link: Shining a Light on the Connection Between Hepatitis B and Liver Cancer to Increase Screening, Prevention, and Linkage to Care
In 2021, the Hepatitis B Foundation conducted a series of focus groups with communities from around the United States, which are heavily impacted by liver cancer related to hepatitis B, in order to better understand existing levels of awareness and knowledge in these communities about the connection between hepatitis B and liver cancer, and to collect ideas about how best to disseminate this information in a culturally competent way. These suggestions and other information collected during the focus groups have informed the creation of a multi-cultural communications campaign, highlighting the link between the two diseases in a way that is accessible and that will encourage higher rates of screening, prevention, and linkage to care for hepatitis B, and early detection for both hepatitis B and liver cancer.
