Article Synopsis
- Hepatitis B is a major infectious disease in Indonesia, with cases increasing significantly despite a reduction in chronic disease conversion rates and improvements in immunization programs post-1997.
- This study investigates the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of Indonesians towards hepatitis B prevention and their willingness to undergo screening, using data from over 400 respondents across four provinces.
- Findings reveal high levels of knowledge and positive attitudes among respondents, but a negative correlation between knowledge and actual behaviors related to screening, suggesting a need for better health promotion strategies that consider socio-economic factors.
