Grammar
Does "to target" mean "to point to"?
Context:
Only male gender, lack of employment, and birth in medium or high endemic country were independently associated with HBsAg positivity in multivariate analysis. Sexual behaviour or self-reported vaccination status are therefore not necessary to target high-risk populations. These three simple criteria could save 25% of unnecessary tests and 6 to 16% undiagnosed hepatitis B compared to usual targeting criteria.
