September 2007 HepTalk Listserv
In honor of National Adult Immunization Week,
September 24-28, we call your attention to an excellent source for patient education
materials in many different languages, some of which we have featured here before. The
IAC or Immunization Action Coalition is another one of our CDC partners in the Viral
Hepatitis Education and Training program. They offer many different kinds of patient
education materials about Hepatitis A and B vaccines. They’re easy to access and easy to
download as pdf files, so they can be printed and distributed at your clinic, and they are
available in Spanish.

September 2006 HepTalk Listserv
Our concentration for this month (September) and next month (October) is Resources for Effective Risk Assessment. This is a primary focus of the HepTalk project, and one on which we are continuously scouting out new resources. Some of the literature and research about effective risk assessment focuses on HIV and/or gay and populations, but is also relevant for hepatitis and for a broader population.
