<![CDATA[Hepatitis B remains a public health problem with the potential to cause chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Early detection through community-based screening is essential to improve case identification and prevent transmission. This community service activity aimed to conduct HBsAg screening and provide education regarding hepatitis B among the community. A total of 155 participants were involved, with a mean age of 46.49 ± 10.29 years and an age range of 19–80 years. Most participants were female, accounting for 109 individuals (70.3%), while males accounted for 46 individuals (29.7%). Screening results showed that 153 participants (98.7%) were HBsAg negative and 2 participants (1.3%) were HBsAg positive. Gender-based distribution demonstrated that all positive cases were found among female participants. The low proportion of HBsAg-positive results indicates that most screened individuals did not have active hepatitis B infection. Nevertheless, the identification of positive cases highlights the importance of regular screening and health education as strategies for early detection, prevention of liver disease complications, and control of hepatitis B transmission within the community.]]>
