“…Adequacy of insurance plays a prominent role in HBV screening. In a survey study of 100 Vietnamese persons attending a health fair those with health insurance were 2.61 (95% CI 1.05-6.47) times more likely to undergo HBV testing, irrespective of education level, income, language proficiency, or cultural acculturation than those that were uninsured [26].…”

Purpose of Review We aim to review 1) the changing epidemiology of liver disease and the impact that systematic differences in the opportunities for ethnic and racial minorities to gain access to care have had on mortality and 2) community interventions aimed at reducing disparities. Recent Findings There continues to be disparities in acute/chronic viral hepatitis. The success of the campaign to eliminate viral hepatitis depends on innovative initiatives like home-based screening in highest risk communities and improved access to treatment. We describe increasing rates of high-risk drinking and a need for culturally tailored treatment. We discuss rising rates of non-alcohol associated fatty liver disease and the need for improved education of patients and providers. Data on disparities in mortality in cholestatic liver diseases are emerging; qualitative data on barriers to care are needed. Summary Understanding racial disparities in liver disease is only the first step. Achieving health equity will take innovative initiatives.

Progress and Unfinished Business: Hepatitis B in the United States, 1980-2019

et al. 2023

During 1990-2019, universal infant and childhood vaccination for hepatitis B resulted in a 99% decline in reported cases of acute hepatitis B among children, adolescents, and young adults aged <19 years in the United States; however, during 2010-2019, cases of acute hepatitis B plateaued or increased among adults aged ≥40 years. We conducted a topical review of surveillance strategies that will be critical to support the elimination of hepatitis B as a public health threat in the United States. In 2019, notifiable disease surveillance for acute hepatitis B showed continued transmission, especially among people who inject drugs and people with multiple sexual partners; rates were highest among people who were aged 30-59 years, non-Hispanic White, and living in rural areas. In contrast, newly reported cases of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) were highest among people who were aged 30-49 years, Asian or Pacific Islander, and living in urban areas. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey documented the highest CHB prevalence among non–US-born, non-Hispanic Asian people during 2013-2018; only one-third of people with CHB were aware of their infection. In the context of universal adult vaccination (2022) and screening (2023) recommendations for hepatitis B, better data are needed to support programmatic strategies to improve (1) vaccination rates among people with behaviors that put them at risk for transmission and (2) screening and linkage to care among non–US-born people. Surveillance for hepatitis B needs to be strengthened throughout the health care and public health systems.
