The study utilized a questionnaire to collect data from 2,816 middle-school and high-school students in Worcester, Massachusetts. The results of the study showed that adolescent knowledge of Hepatitis B was low overall and that the factors that most affected knowledge included race, age, level of education and academic performance, knowing someone with Hepatitis B, having been taught about Hepatitis B and degree of acculturation. The author concludes that adolescents, especially Vietnamese young people, should be given more health education on Hepatitis B.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/10545576\">https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/10545576<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords: <\/strong>adolescents, adolescent health, health education, Vietnamese, Hepatitis B<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cataloged by: <\/strong>Alison Fulmer \/ B.
