Social-environmental, Psychosocial, Behavioral, Clinical and Biological Drivers of Disparities in Liver Disease Progression Among Korean American With Chronic Hepatitis B Infection

Completed

Conditions studied: Chronic Viral Hepatitis, Hepatitis B Infection

In brief

This study explores how psychosocial factors (e.g., chronic stress, depression) may lead to liver disease progression such as liver cirrhosis or liver cancer among Korean American chronic hepatitis B infection patients. Gathering health information over time from Korean Americans with chronic hepatitis B infection may help doctors find better methods of treatment and on-going care.
