Viral Hepatitis

This webinar recording discusses how to reduce disparities in hepatitis, research and community partnerships have been essential in reaching at-risk and underserved populations by addressing the adverse social determinants that are responsible for these disparities.

This webpage discusses how viral hepatitis disproportionately impacts Hispanic/Latinx communities. In 2018, Hispanic/Latinx individuals were 1.4 times more likely to die from Hepatitis C than non-Hispanic whites, with significant barriers such as language, access to care, and high-risk behaviors contributing to these disparities. Despite the availability of effective treatments, Hispanic/Latinx patients face significant treatment gaps. Social determinants of health, such as lower insurance coverage and limited access to quality care, exacerbate these issues.
