Abstract
The study “Assessment of Hepatitis B Virus Knowledge and Risks Among Barbers and Beauty Salon Workers in Tanzania” conducted in Mwanza City revealed significant knowledge gaps among participants, particularly those with lower education levels, with 36.5% reporting needlestick injuries and only 2% vaccinated against hepatitis B virus. Education level emerged as a critical factor influencing awareness, stressing the need for targeted interventions to reduce transmission risks. Limitations, such as sample size and generalizability, were noted, along with the importance of tailored interventions, advanced statistical methods, and longitudinal studies in future research is needed.
