BACKGROUND
Due to the high prevalence of hepatitis B, Asian Americans have high rates of liver cancer. Screening for hepatitis B leads to monitoring and treatment and prevent further infection through vaccination of contacts.
METHODS
We reviewed the published literature up to 2006 on hepatitis B awareness, knowledge, and screening among Asian Americans.
RESULTS
Many Asian Americans lack knowledge about hepatitis B and have not been screened. Sociodemographics, knowledge, beliefs, and health care variables are associated with screening.
CONCLUSIONS
Further research and health policy changes are needed to address the problem of hepatitis B and liver cancer among Asian Americans.
背景
由于乙型肝炎的高流行率，亚裔美国人患肝癌的比例很高。乙型肝炎筛查可实现监测与治疗，并通过为接触者接种疫苗预防进一步感染。
方法
我们查阅了截至2006年已发表的有关亚裔美国人对乙型肝炎的知晓情况、知识水平及筛查情况的文献。
结果
许多亚裔美国人对乙型肝炎缺乏了解，且未接受筛查。社会人口统计学特征、知识、信念及医疗保健变量与筛查相关。
结论
需要开展进一步研究并改变卫生政策，以解决亚裔美国人中的乙型肝炎和肝癌问题。
