Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to design an intervention to increase hepatitis B (HBV) screening among Korean Americans. The investigators will design a culturally specific intervention (educational sessions) and test the effect of the intervention on 1200 Korean Americans. All subjects will be interviewed before the intervention/control sessions and 6 months after the sessions to assess HBV screening levels in the two groups. Self-reported HBV screening will be verified by a review of subjects' medical records. The primary study hypothesis is that the intervention group will have a higher rate of HBV serologic testing at follow-up compared to the control group.
