Let's Talk About B: Barriers to Hepatitis B Screening and Vaccination Among Asian and South Asian Immigrants in British Columbia.

Introduction: Chronic hepatitis B (HBV) is prevalent among Asian immigrants in Canada with high morbidity and mortality rates. While some studies have identified barriers to health care and information access, few have studied the impact of culturally relevant information and addressed challenges with recommendations for effective public education and outreach programs.

Methods: Culturally tailored HBV education workshops were delivered over a 12-month period to Chinese, Filipino, Korean and Punjabi immigrants in Lower Mainland, British Columbia (BC).

A Scoping Literature Review: The State of Knowledge on Home Care Equipment and Supplies.

We explored the state of knowledge on home care supplies and equipment because not much is known about this topic.

We searched for articles published in both the gray and peer-reviewed literature.

The emergency to home project: impact of an emergency department care coordinator on hospital admission and emergency department utilization among seniors.

Background: Seniors comprise 14% to 21% of all emergency department (ED) visits, yet are disproportionately larger users of ED and inpatient resources. ED care coordinators (EDCCs) target seniors at risk for functional decline and connect them to home care and other community services in hopes of avoiding hospitalization. The goal of this study was to measure the association between the presence of EDCCs and admission rates for seniors aged ≥ 65.
