November 20 Webinar: Collecting and Using Hepatitis B Screening Data for Research and Policy

Please join Hep B United and the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders on Thursday, November 20, 2014 at 3:00-4:00 PM EST for a webinar on Collecting and Using Hepatitis B Screening Data for Research and Policy featuring expert speakers and researchers in viral hepatitis.

Hepatitis B affects up to two million Americans – yet the disease is often overlooked and largely underdiagnosed. Collecting more data is critical for framing policy and prioritizing hepatitis B via increased funds for research and programs. Join us for this interactive session to learn more about the process of collecting screening data and contributing to research and knowledge. Speakers will discuss best practices for data collection at community-based hepatitis B screening settings, applying for Institutional Review Board approval, and managing and publishing hepatitis B data.
