Family Relations Clinical Trial
Official title:
SMART Family-Link Project: Using Information and Communication Technology to Improve Family Interventions and Promote Family Well-being in Hong Kong
In the past few decades, Information and Communications Technology (ICT) have rapidly
developed as effective, and probably the most cost-effective tools to connect most aspects of
family lives. Alongside the growth in popularity of ICTs and its role in promoting family
well-being, there is also an increasing appreciation that ICTs such as internet-enabled
devices and web-based applications can offer many advantages compared to traditional
face-to-face approaches when delivering behaviour change programmes.
To gain more understanding of the potential new avenues of using ICT in programme
implementation, The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust has initiated the Jockey Club SMART
Family-Link Project in collaboration with The University of Hong Kong (HKU) and
non-governmental organizations (NGOs). This project aimed at helping 26 NGO-operated
Integrated Family Service Centres and Integrated Service Centres (Centres), making effective
use of information and communications technology (ICT) and data analytics, to enhance the
quality and efficiency of their family service. The present study aims to supplement the
existing services and interventions delivered by the FRU, FSU and FCU, a series of brief
ICT-based family interventions that promote family communication, cohesion, support and
well-being and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of ICT-based interventions.
