Overview

Cross-sectional analysis assesses knowledge and vaccination practices for hepatitis b in a community, highlighting gaps.

Key Points

  • About 70.2% of respondents were aware of hepatitis b, yet only 45.3% had good knowledge of the infection and vaccination.
  • Tertiary education linked positively with better knowledge, with a significant association (p < 0.001).
  • Data collected through a cross-sectional community-based study involving 258 adults from Passo community.
  • Community interventions are essential to enhance hepatitis b awareness and improve vaccination coverage among residents.
