I’m trying to find out if anyone or organization has done work or thinking around hepatitis B-related systems/identification of systems gaps impacting API pregnant women and their households (perhaps a best practice model out there?). Many organizations have targeted the general API population via materials and community screenings but we also know that the primary mode of HBV transmission is at birth.
I am working with the Washington State dept of health’s perinatal hepatitis B program and my coalition members to do some strategic thinking around this and one of my strategies is to ask you, my more-experienced colleagues. I’ve already had some conversations with other partners, but hope you would have ideas or thoughts to share (in addition to standing recommendations and requirements to test all pregnant women at birth).
Thanks.
