Abstract
Asian Americans make up 6% of the total United States population but account for up to 58% of individuals with Chronic Hepatitis B(CHB)1 . While guidelines are given for disease screening and management, there remains a gap between screening and linkage to care for those with limited resources or language barriers. The purpose of this study was to describe Paul Hom Asian Clinic’s protocol for Hepatitis B (HBV) screening and follow-up, characterize the population screened, and analyze clinical outcomes of the affected population.
