  • Despite high awareness, only 19% of participants followed preventive practices, pointing to a gap in health education.
  • Conducted through face-to-face interviews, the study involved 200 family members in a rural community setting.
  • Strengthening outreach of local health workers is essential for improving hepatitis b prevention and awareness.
