Deeper Look: Las Comunidades Hispanas/Latinas Y La Hepatitis [Deeper Look: The Hispanic/Latinx Community and Hepatitis]

This webpage discusses how viral hepatitis has a disproportionate impact in Hispanic/Latinx communities. As of 2018, the year data was most recently available, Hispanic/Latinx individuals were 1.4x more likely to die from Hepatitis C than non-Hispanic white people. Hispanic/Latinx communities face multiple barriers to viral hepatitis prevention, treatment care, and research, such as language, access to available quality care and insurance, patient education, history of incarceration or injection drug use, and high-risk behavior. 

Leaving No One Behind: Community Partnerships in Reducing Hepatitis Disparities

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. For example, successful collaborations often simplify and facilitate access and linkage to care. In many cases, communities are considered as program recipients or research subjects instead of critical partners who should be significant contributors to the design and implementation of an initiative.
