Hepatitis Resources
See our newest resources at the bottom of this page.

The HepTalk Project is working with 27 health centers and local health department clinics around the country that serve mobile populations and recent Latin American immigrants to find ways to incorporate hepatitis and other communicable disease prevention into clinic systems and client visits.

As part of the HepTalk Project, CHEC collaborated with the Migrant Clinicians Network on the position paper "Hepatitis Screening, Immunization and Testing for Mobile Populations and Immigrants from Latin America and the Caribbean" (will be downloaded to your computer as a PDF) which was released in May 2005. This paper clarifies standard hepatitis recommendations for these populations.

Complementing that publication is the updated HepTalk resource (also a PDF) “HepQuick: Transmission, Risk, Prevention and Vaccination Information." This includes all of the Centers for Disease Control information for Hepatitis A, B and C on one page, and includes specifics for mobile clients and recent immigrants from the position paper.

We are also happy to share two patient education resources developed by clinics in the HepTalk project. These posters, in both English and Spanish, can be printed on a normal computer printer and used in your clinic. These are examples of effective educational tools developed by individual clinics. You can download these resources from the MCN website’s hepatitis page. You will also find links there to other useful information about hepatitis. And, don't forget to go to the CDC's viral hepatitis website.

Check back often for our latest resources. Unless otherwise noted, these will be downloaded as a PDF which can be read with the free Acrobat Reader:
