Background: Despite an effective vaccine, 60,000 new HBV infections were reported in the US in 2004; 95% in adults. We evaluate HBV sero-prevalence, risk behaviors and self-reported vaccination among Latino immigrant, Asian immigrant and US born low income men in five northern California counties.
Methods: Population based, cross sectional survey of HBV sero-prevalence and risk behaviors in men aged 18 to 35 years.
