Abstract :Aim: Our main objective in this study was to rigorously measure global interest and awareness of viral hepatitis through a systematic evaluation of data collected from Google Trends. Material and Methods: We compiled and categorized the Search Volume Index (SVI), a quantitative measure covering the global regional distribution associated with the search terms \"Hepatitis A\", \"Hepatitis B\", \"Hepatitis C\", \"Hepatitis D\" and \"Hepatitis E\" over a period of approximately ten years from 2013 to 2022. Results: According to our analysis, there has been a noticeable increase in interest in Hepatitis A and B, while interest in Hepatitis C has declined after peaking in 2015. Meanwhile, interest in Hepatitis D and E continued to show a very low profile. Our rigorous research found that Guatemala recorded the highest rate of interest for Hepatitis A, Ghana for Hepatitis B, Pakistan for Hepatitis C, Kyrgyzstan for Hepatitis D and Namibia for Hepatitis E. Conclusions: This study highlights the potential for using tools such as Google Trends in organizing public health monitoring and awareness campaigns.
