在埃塞俄比亚Arsi地区的居民样本中，20-24岁年龄组的B型肝炎患病率约为80%。除了年龄、性别和家庭规模外，接触部落习俗也是这一群体血清阳性的决定因素，占感染总负担的20%。等待大规模的疫苗接种运动，目前在世界的这一地区是不现实的，健康教育，作为一个全面的初级卫生保健计划的一部分，必须被认为是一个潜在的有效的预防工具。
In a sample of inhabitants of the Arsi region of Ethiopia prevalence of hepatitis B is around 80% in the age group 20-24. In addition to age, sex and size of family, exposure to tribal practices is a determiant of seropositivity in this group accounting for as much as 20% of the total burden of the infection. Waiting for a mass vaccination campaign, presently unrealistic in this area of the world, health education, as part of a comprehensive primary health care program, has to be considered as a potentially effective preventive tool.
