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.
