Abstract

We conducted this research for two purposes in 2008. Firstly, we survey awareness of hepatitis screening among general population and the occupational field. The summary of a questionnaire showed that there are a poor awareness about hepatitis screening and a subsidy for IFN therapy. Secondly, we surveyed prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) among occupational field as the pilot study. The results of serological examinations indicated that prevalence of HBV among the occupational field was higher than the general population. Based on the results of the survey, we perceived a need of a well-targeted publicity campaign of importance of hepatitis screening.<br>
