Stigma Snapshot: Hepatitis B-related knowledge, attitudes, and health-seeking behaviour among Middle Eastern, North African, and sub-Saharan African communities

This study explored knowledge, attitudes, and health-seeking behaviours related to hepatitis B among migrant communities in Australia, with a focus on Middle Eastern and
North African (MENA) and sub-Saharan African (SSA) populations. These communities were selected due to the high prevalence of hepatitis B among people born in these
regions. This study forms part of a broader national program aimed at monitoring stigma related to blood-borne viruses and sexually transmissible infections.
