Official title:
Training Program for Community Health Campaign: Fitter Families Project
In recent years, Hong Kong has been undergoing rapid changes with macro social and economic trends. The increasingly complex and diverse family structure contribute to concerns regarding the well-being of families in Hong Kong, including their health, happiness and harmony (FAMILY 3Hs). Family life and health education should be strengthened to meet the increasing needs of promoting healthy active lifestyle among Hong Kong families. In this connection, the FAMILY Project initiates the Fitter Families Project (FFP) with a focus on "FAMILY Holistic Health", will be conducted in order to increase the awareness of the importance of FAMILY 3Hs. FFP is a community-based research project with 3 main components - train-the-trainer program, community-based family interventions and public education events. It is expected that trainees from the train-the-trainer program will acquire adequate skills to organize community-based health education programs effectively. Participants of the community-based family interventions will gain knowledge on family holistic health and live a healthy active lifestyle. Attendees of the public education events will become more aware of the importance of FAMILY 3Hs.
In 2011, United Nations (UN) addressed the prevention and control of four non-communicable
diseases (NCDs: cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease, and diabetes
mellitus) worldwide. The UN, in its Political Declaration, recognized the critical importance
of reducing the exposure to the common modifiable risk factors for NCDs, namely, tobacco use,
unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and the harmful use of alcohol.In Hong Kong, NCDs are
responsible for more than 85% of all deaths and most of these are preventable. FAMILY Project
Cohort Study (2014) also found that 88.6% of Hong Kong people had inadequate vegetable and
fruit intake, 70.6% had inadequate physical exercise, 26.4% were overweight and 5.4% were
obese.
Families worldwide have been undergoing rapid changes with macro, social and economic trends.
Demographic shifts, economic upheavals, changing societal norms and values, immigration
across national borders and migration within nations are creating new and altered structures,
processes and relationships within families. The increasingly complex and diverse family
structure contributes to concerns regarding the well-being of families in Hong Kong,
including their health, happiness and harmony (FAMILY 3Hs). Family life and health education
should be strengthened to meet the increasing needs of promoting healthy lifestyle among Hong
Kong families.
The Fitter Families Project is developed based on the strong foundation of the Learning
Families Project in the previous years. In view of the health challenges locally and
globally, the new phase of FAMILY project will put more emphasis on health in the upcoming
three years. Following the themes on FAMILY health, happiness and harmony (3Hs), the Fitter
Families Project focuses on family holistic health with emphasis on the interaction and
integration of both physical and psychosocial health.
As an initial step of this project, the investigators conducted a need assessments before
designing and conducting a train-the-trainer program. The train-the-trainer program aimed to
prepare the staff and lay volunteers to conduct and or assist to implement a series of
community-based activities and interventions for the participants of Fitter Families Project.
Focus group interviews were conducted to obtain feedback and opinion from the trainees .
Questionnaire assessments were conducted before, immediately after finishing the training,
three months after training.
