The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of a multi-level intervention known as "TASKPEN," adapted from the World Health Organization (WHO) Package of Essential Noncommunicable Disease Interventions (WHO-PEN) for the Zambian public health system, on clinical and implementation outcomes for persons living with HIV (PLHIV) with co-morbid cardio-metabolic conditions in Lusaka, Zambia.
2 Objectives 1. To explore the noticeability of pictorial health warnings and perceptions of attractiveness and harmfulness towards plain cigarette packets and existing cigarette packets with 85% pictorial warnings in current smokers; 2. to compare the differences in perceptions of packaging in current smokers with different characteristics (i.e. by sex, age, the consumption level of cigarettes, nicotine dependence levels, and types of tobacco used for polytobacco product users); 3. to evaluate the effectiveness in reducing smoking consumption and promoting quit attempts; and 4. to assess the support for the legislation of plain packaging.
Aim: to prevent NCDs by screening and educating individuals in the community on health-risk behaviours. Specifically, we will use a mobile health and a brief self-determination theory-based intervention in helping individual change their health-risk behaviours. Hypotheses to be tested: compared with those in the control group, the participants in the intervention group will experience significantly greater success in modifying their health-risk behaviours and will have a better health-related quality of life at 12 months follow-up. Objectives 1. To screen individuals for health-risk behaviours and identify risk factors that may contribute to NCDs 2. To educate individuals on the importance of engaging in healthy lifestyles 3. To develop a training programme - "Train the Trainers' Toolkit", with the goal to train student nurses (Years 2 to 5) as health ambassadors to implement the project on a long-term basis.
A randomized controlled trial with non-communicable disease patients from two medical hospitals in Norway will be recruited prior to hospital discharge. The intervention group will participate in a 42-day nurse-assisted eHealth intervention "eHealth@ Hospital-2-Home". The intervention includes monitoring the patient's vital signs, self-reports of symptoms, health and well-being, communication between the patients and a Nurse Navigator in the hospital, and access to information about illness and health resources.

Objectives 1. To assess the recruitment, participation and retention rates of targeted participants in an emergency department 2. To ascertain the feasibility of screening, recruiting and educating people to change health-risk behaviours in the emergency department
This study aims to control risk factors of non communicable diseases by life style and care intervention based on internet technology, looking forward to improve cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications, diabetes and all-cause death.
