Cultural and linguistic diversity of people living with chronic hepatitis B in 2011-2016: changing migration, shifting epidemiology.

CONCLUSIONS: The epidemiology of chronic hepatitis B in Australia has shifted over time due to changing migration patterns, with increases in many countries in the Asia-Pacific, African and Middle Eastern regions. Implications for public health: Interventions to improve the health of people living with CHB are imperative, and these up-to-date estimates identify priority groups and communities, which are constantly changing.
