    Proposed Project: Evaluation of Viral Hepatitis B Educational Slide 
Materials--New--National Center for Infectious Disease (NCID), Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The purpose of the proposed 
study is to assess the usefulness of the Hepatitis B and You, an 
educational slide set located on the website of the Hepatitis Branch, 
NCID, CDC. The Hepatitis B and You educational slide set is used to 
educate persons about hepatitis B in general and more specifically the 
importance of hepatitis B vaccination to prevent perinatal transmission 
of hepatitis B virus (HBV). An estimated 1.25 million Americans are 
chronically infected with HBV and 4,000 to 5,000 die each year due to 
resultant cirrhosis and liver cancer. The estimated cost associated 
with HBV infections is $700 million a year in medical care and lost 
work days. The annualized total burden is 414 hours.
