I am an Infectious Diseases doctor working with Hepatitis B in the Top End of the Northern Territory. I will provide detailed information about the prevelance of Hepatitis B infection, the specific subtypes found in this region and the burden of disease attributable to it.

I will also explore the levels of knowledge in the community about Hepatitis B infection using this information to develop and evaluate an educational tool.
