Chronic hepatitis B infection is the most common cause of liver cancer among Cambodians. Our objective was to describe Cambodian Americans' hepatitis B knowledge, testing, and vaccination levels.
A community-based telephone survey was conducted in Seattle. Our study sample included 111 individuals.
Less than one half (46%) of our study group had received a hepatitis B blood test, and about one third (35%) had been vaccinated against hepatitis B. Only 43% knew that Cambodians are more likely to be infected with hepatitis B than whites.
Over 50% of our respondents did not recall being tested for hepatitis B. We identified important knowledge deficits about hepatitis B. Continued efforts should be made to implement hepatitis B educational campaigns for Cambodians.
慢性乙型肝炎感染是柬埔寨人患肝癌的最常见原因。我们的目标是描述美籍柬埔寨人的乙肝知识、检测和疫苗接种水平。
在西雅图进行了一项基于社区的电话调查。我们的研究样本包括111个人。
我们研究组中不到一半（46%）的人接受过乙肝血液检测，约三分之一（35%）的人接种过乙肝疫苗。只有43%的人知道柬埔寨人比白人更容易感染乙肝。
超过50%的受访者不记得接受过乙肝检测。我们发现了关于乙肝的重要知识缺陷。应继续努力为柬埔寨人开展乙肝教育活动。
