7th Annual Youth Leadership Conference on Asian and Pacific Islander Health 2009 (August 5-8, 2009)
This year, YLC 2009's theme centered on Web 2.0 and social media. As we enter an age where Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and other such online social platforms become the norm, being able to leverage the potential to reach millions of people through these outlets is crucial to raise awareness about liver cancer and hepatitis B. At YLC 2009, students learned about and created innovative ways to use social media that they consume as entertainment to advance public health messages.

Many YLC attendees become members of the Jade Ribbon Youth Council, summer interns at the Asian Liver Center (ALC), or founders of Team HBV chapters at their high schools and universities. Some ideas generated at YLC are incorporated into ALC outreach events and activities, for example, the Jade Ribbon LIVERight awareness bracelets.
