EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This study entitled Estimating the Spread of Hepatitis Using Linear Trend Model was conducted during the academic year 2018-2019. The main purpose of the study is to estimate the spread of hepatitis virus using linear trend model. The researchers used a mathematical model using the principle of forecasting linear trend model. To balance off the research, the researchers discussed with their adviser about the model. The actual data was substituted with the derived model and was found out that the proposal mathematical model can estimate the spread of Hepatitis cases in selected towns in Rizal. This was made possible with the use of forecasting linear trend model. Based on the summary of findings, it was concluded that using this forecasting linear trend model, the researchers can forecast the spread of hepatitis virus in the next succeeding years. By virtue of the preceding summary of findings and conclusions, further study can be conducted using forecasting linear trend model in other situation. The government should be aware of the increasing rate of the number of people having hepatitis virus and they should conduct program/seminars about hepatitis virus to widen public awareness.
