Summary

This completed study looked at 274 foreign-born adults in the US with chronic hepatitis B to understand why many do not get proper follow-up care. Participants completed a one-time survey about their background, immigration experience, and healthcare access. The goal is to identify barriers like language, cost, or cultural differences so that future programs can help more people get the care they need.
