Wenn Kompetenz auf Kreativität trifft

Abstract

Hepatitis B is not perceived as a serious health hazard in the general population, even less so in adolescents. Specific information in a clear and understandable language is crucial to obtain good acceptance of vaccination against hepatitis B. Adolescents are the best mediators to communicate this message to persons of their age as they take into account the group's specific sensitivity, culture and language. A close collaboration between youngsters and experts is needed to produce attractive, precise and correct information concerning the prevention of hepatitis B infections.
