SEARCH BOX

Consider the following when entering your keyword(s):

  • Use quotation marks to search for an exact phrase, e.g. “whole genome sequencing”.
  • Using upper- or lower-case letters (e.g. FLU, flu) gives the same results. 
  • Using several keywords give search results containing all of those keywords.

SORT AND FILTER

  • Narrow your search results using the filter groupings: Category, Group of diseases, Public health topic and Date.
  • Selecting values within the same filter grouping e.g. ‘news’ and ‘multimedia’ will display all the results for news or multimedia.
  • Selecting values across filter groupings e.g. ‘news’ and ‘respiratory diseases’ will display news related to respiratory diseases.
  • Sort your search results by relevance or recency using the menu on the top right of the search page.

Tools for public health

Hepatitis C prevalence database

Prevalence data from sources such as population surveys can be a useful complement to case based surveillance data for hepatitis C. Case-based surveillance has limitations as most diagnosed cases are chronic in nature and detection of cases depends largely on testing practices. Prevalence data can therefore contribute towards a fuller understanding of the epidemiology of hepatitis C.
