Description
Although its history can be traced back more than 50 years, the chronic liver disease Hepatitis C could not be identified until 1989. Since then it has been a silent killer, infecting more than 3.9 million people nationwide. Using modem and historical research, it is evident that the American public needs to become aware of what Hepatitis C is. By conducting random sample surveys of college students, we can formulate the steps that need to be taken on individual and societal levels to contain the virus.
