Series: Monograph series (La Trobe University. Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society) ; no. 82<br><br>Health service providers in Far North Queensland have identified chronic hepatitis B having an increasing impact on primary health services in the Torres Strait.

This qualitative study investigated how health service providers in the Torres Strait are responding to chronic hepatitis B.<br><br>La Trobe University.
