According to research done by Xiong, et al 2013, immunizations are rarely done and when they are, most Hmong do not get the all three immunizations (Xiong, M., et al., 2013). There are also huge gaps in education about Hep B. Most of the Hmong people in this research reported they did not think Hep B could be prevented and few had never heard of Hep B. There is also huge gaps in the education about they way Hep B is spread. Although most knew, that Hep B was spread person to person many did not know how it was spread and that it could be spread by a person who was asymptomatic.

These barriers also bring up ethical principles that need to be used as a guide when making a family intervention plan. Among these ethical principles include are making sure the client and family understand the disease and management process. Ensuring the client understands the disease and management process will allow the client to make an educated decision.

By not assuming anything about the culture, the nurse builds trust (Minority Nursing 2013). The Healthy People 2020 Objectives that would guide the family intervention plan are Access to Human Services and Immunization and Infectious Disease (Healthy People 2020, 2016). Assess to Human Services objective can be used as a guide because the goal is to improve the access to comprehensive, quality health care services (Healthy People 2020, 2016). Lack of education and health care services are barriers among the Hmong population (Xiong, M., et al., 2013). Immunization and Infectious Disease can be used as a guide because the goal is to increase the immunization rates and reduce preventable infectious diseases (Healthy
