This paper presents the findings of a clustered randomized controlled trial (cRCT) that evaluated the effectiveness of an online feminist sexual health intervention among Chinese young adults, providing insights into the impacts of this innovative approach and contribute to the growing body of literature on feminist interventions for sexual health and equality promotion.
The study aims to investigate the underlying mechanism between Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder traits (AD/HD traits) and psychological well-being through studying the role of perceived criticism, rejection sensitivity, self-compassion and growth mindset. It also aims to explore the effectiveness of self-compassion intervention on enhancing self-compassion and psychological well-being of children with AD/HD in Hong Kong. The study will contribute to the current understanding of the supportive measures for children with AD/HD, and hopefully help to mobilize more resources to preserve children with AD/HD's mental health. The intervention program includes the following components: Participants will be randomly assigned to the self-compassion intervention group or the waitlist control group. The intervention group consists of two parts: children training session and parent group sessions. All children participants will complete a total of 6 training sessions, and each session will last around 90 minutes. Parents of the children participants will also complete a total of 3 group sessions, and each session will last around 90 minutes. To investigate the intervention effectiveness, children will be asked to complete a questionnaire assessing their levels of self-compassion, emotional regulation, as well as psychological well-being in terms of life satisfaction, positive and negative affect. Parents and teachers of participants will also be asked to complete a questionnaire covering children's emotional regulation, positive and negative affect. Questionnaire data collection will be conducted prior to the intervention (i.e., Time 1), immediately after the 6-session student and 3-session parent sessions (i.e., Time 2), and 2 months after the intervention (i.e., Time 3, a 2-month follow up). It takes approximately 20-30 minutes for children and parents to complete their questionnaires. Study Objectives: 1. To investigate the underlying mechanism of the relationship between AD/HD traits and psychological well-being 2. To explore the effectiveness of self-compassion intervention on enhancing self-compassion and psychological well-being of children with AD/HD in Hong Kong Hypotheses: 1. AD/HD traits negatively predicts psychological well-being 2. AD/HD traits positively predicts perceived criticism or rejection sensitivity 3. Perceived criticism or rejective sensitivity negatively predicts psychological well-being 4. Perceived criticism or rejective sensitivity mediates the relationship between AD/HD traits and psychological well-being 5. Self-compassion moderates the relationship between perceived criticism or rejection sensitivity and psychological well-being 6. Growth mindset moderates the relationship between perceived criticism or rejection sensitivity and psychological well-being 7. Children with AD/HD from self-compassion intervention group yield greater improvement in self-compassion, emotional regulation and psychological well-being, than waitlist-control group.
Insomnia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are highly comorbid conditions with an intricate, bidirectional relationship. In particular, insomnia and ADHD often co-occur, with 22.9-34.6% of adolescents with insomnia having clinically significant ADHD, and 22-33.5% of adolescents with ADHD experiencing comorbid insomnia symptoms. Insomnia is not only associated with increased ADHD severity, but also linked to an increased risk for other mental health problems and poorer treatment response in young people with ADHD. Behavioural sleep interventions have shown promise in improving sleep in young children with comorbid ADHD and insomnia. Nonetheless, when treating adolescent insomnia, especially those with ADHD, there is a need to consider the unique sleep and circadian features as well as psychosocial factors associated with not only ADHD but also adolescence, a challenging developmental stage. To date, there is a paucity of research to test the efficacy of cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) in adolescents with comorbid ADHD and insomnia. To address the limitations in the existing literature, this study aims to conduct a randomised controlled trial (RCT) to examine the effects of CBT-I relative to a usual care (UC) condition in adolescents with ADHD, on improving sleep and ADHD symptoms, and other clinical and daytime symptoms as well as overall functional improvement.
This clinical trial aims to explore the effectiveness of the Mediterranean DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet and Forest Bathing (FB) in reducing psychological stress among older Chinese individuals. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. what is the effect of FB on stress reduction 2. what is the effect of MIND on stress reduction Participants of the MIND-FB group will participate will receive 1. FB: a two-hour FB session on four consecutive weekends in a country park, 2. MIND: four nutrition sessions, and adhere to the MIND diet for 12 weeks Researchers will compare the FB and routine care groups to compare the effectiveness of MIND and FB in reducing psychological stress.

The purpose of this study is to measure the efficacy and safety of AZD0901 compared to Investigator's choice of therapy as 2L+ treatment for participants with advanced or metastatic gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma expressing CLDN18.2.
The goal of this observational study is to assess the correlation between the artificial intelligence (AI) derived effective withdrawal time (EWT) during colonoscopy and endoscopists' baseline adenoma detection rate (ADR). The association between the AI derived EWT with ADR during the prospective colonoscopy series would also be determined. The colonoscopy video of participants will be monitored by the AI
The aim of this multi-center, retrospective epidemiologic study is to confirm the prognostic performance of the Digital Pathology (DP) FibroNest Phenotypic Fibrosis Composite Score (Ph-FCS), derived from standard digital pathology liver biopsy images, in predicting clinical hepatic decompensation events in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).
The purpose of this study is to measure the efficacy and safety of baxdrostat in Asian participants with uHTN or rHTN. The main objective is to compare the difference in SBP change from baseline at Week 12 of treatment between participants receiving 2 mg baxdrostat or 1 mg baxdrostat tablets and participants receiving placebo tablets.
The JETi Hong Kong PMS is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter study to collect real-world data on the safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the JETi System for the treatment of acute and subacute thrombosis in the lower extremity peripheral vasculature. This is a post-market study that will register approximately 20 subjects at approximately 5 centers in Hong Kong. Subjects participating in this study will be followed for up to 30 days after the JETi procedure.
