Disparities in Hep B and Liver Cancer in Affected Communities @10AM HSt

Support our local storyteller, Kenson Alik!

Join a discussion as Hepatitis B Foundation reviews data and preliminary conclusions from a recent study examining disparities in hepatitis B and liver cancer awareness, knowledge, and screening rates among Asian American, Pacific Islander, African, and Caribbean communities around the United States, and discuss these conclusions with community members who served as advisors and focus group leaders during the project.

Community advisors and focus group leaders will share their thoughts and insights about the project, and will also discuss their own work on the topic of closing disparities in liver cancer awareness and knowledge. Panelists include Dr. Moon Chen of UC Davis Health, Dr. Patricia Jones of the University of Miami, Kenson Alik of the Micronesian Education for Liver Wellness Program in Hawaii, and Janet Afoakwah of the United States Coalition on African Immigrant Health.
