Educational lectures regarding the problem of hepatitis B and liver cancer in the Asian American community are directed toward a wide variety of public audiences in numerous settings. The Asian Liver Center also provides more technically based lectures for health practitioners.

Large-scale, free screenings are held annually to encourage the public to receive the hepatitis B surface antigen test. The Asian Liver Center also works with various organizations to provide testing within the community at locations such as churches and community centers.

We also attend cultural festivals to educate the community, conduct knowledge surveys, and spread the Jade Ribbon message.

The Asian Liver Center has published multilingual brochures that focus on the close association of hepatitis B and liver cancer, and tips for adult Asian and Pacific Islanders to protect themselves. Brochures are currently available in Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai and English. Click here to view the brochures.

The center has been spotlighted in numerous English and Asian-language print publications, including magazines, newspapers, and journals, in order to further raise awareness about hepatitis B and liver cancer prevalence and treatment.

Several programs have been developed that specifically target high school students. The annual Youth Conference on Asian and Pacific Islander Health brings students to the Stanford campus to learn about critical Asian-American health issues and outreach strategies to address these issues. The Asian Liver Center also selects a dozen students each year to be members of the Jade Ribbon Youth Council. The students, chosen based on their demonstrated leadership capacity and potential for serving the Asian-American community, meet regularly to develop outreach projects to educate the community about hepatitis B and liver cancer.

The Asian Liver Center also provides college scholarships to encourage students to implement their own outreach projects. For more information about these youth programs, click here.

Public Service Ads in various Asian languages have been created to educate the community about hepatitis B and liver cancer. These ads are done by popular Asian entertainers, such as Taiwanese actress and Congresswoman Jin Su Mei, and are broadcasted on television and radio.

The Asian Liver Center has established collaborative efforts with hundreds of diverse API partners, Public Health Service, the Center for Disease Control, and the American Cancer Society.

The center also collaborates with various organizations to create symposiums on liver cancer and liver disease for practitioners and researchers in the United States and abroad, including symposiums in Hong Kong and Beijing.
