Abstract:
The KAP survey on liver disease, hepatitis B and EPI was conducted in Quang Xuong and Ngoc Lac (Thanh Hoa) in October 2000. The results: there were more than 50% of interviewees giving completely correct answers on liver disease. Monthly visits of EPI staffs increased three times in Ngoc Lac to compare with this of 3 years ago. Radio/TV and loudspeakers are still the main ways to inform EPI activities. Knowledge of mothers on vaccination has been improved. The rate of having birth at CHS has increased in Ngoc Lac (from 6.2% to 34.2%)
