This was a randomized controlled trial comparing child welfare business as usual (BAU) with two levels of supportive housing (SH). To identify eligible families, a screening tool was developed that helped social workers apply a "housing lens" very early in family child welfare involvement. The study examined the extent to which implementation was faithful to the model and how well state and community partners collaborated. The research included a process evaluation, outcomes study, and economic analysis. Access to either intervention group was associated with higher family preservation and reunification, with service model intensity demonstrating minimal impact. An economic evaluation revealed that the intensive model cost the most, but the existing SH program and routine care incurred equivalent per-child costs.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate different types of exercise programs (virtual group-based exercise program; personal exercise program; wait-list control) across 12-weeks on the physical and mental health of older adults during the current Covid-19 pandemic.
This study intends to develop a 3DVR-based horticultural therapy intervention to explore the health effectiveness among older adults
A harmonious family relationship has significant effects on the psychological well-being and development of children. Good communication between parents and children is a crucial element for family health, happiness and harmony. However, communication within Hong Kong families is vastly inadequate partly due to our busy urban lifestyle. The 3Hs Family Drama Project (Phase 2) was an enhanced version of the 3Hs Family Drama Project to promote health, happiness, harmony (3Hs), healthy eating and physical activity in primary school students. Students watched the interactive live drama (long or short version) and are given DVD and worksheets. Students were encouraged to watch the DVD with other family members at home. The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and satisfaction levels of teachers, parents and students towards the drama project.

This study was to evaluate the effectiveness of interactive live drama, DVD and worksheet.
The study seeks to learn more about the health behaviors of young adults. Health behaviors include relationships, physical and mental health, alcohol use, and conflicts with others. The purpose of this study is to improve prevention and intervention programs for young adults.
This study will develop and pilot test a qigong intervention with older people (50 and over) living with HIV. Participants (n=48) will be randomly assigned to one of 3 conditions: the qigong intervention, a sham qigong intervention, and a usual standard of care group. The study will determine the acceptability and feasibility of the study. If found effective, the qigong intervention will also improve the psychological and physical symptoms of older people living with HIV.
The overall aim of this study is to explore if a structured drug review will change clinical symptoms and the psychotropic drugs prescription rate in the elderly living in nursing homes (participants of the study). The study will examine how training of nursing home physicians on reviewing prescription lists using the Norwegian general practice criteria - Nursing homes (NorGeP-NH) will influence the participants' clinical symptoms such as cognition, depression, anxiety and their quality of life. Secondary, we will analyse how a structured drug review will influence further psychotropic drug prescribing rates in nursing homes. The hypothesis for this study are: 1. Training of nursing home physicians on doing a systematic drug review will decrease the participants' clinical symptoms and improve their Quality of Life. 2. A systematic drug review will decrease the psychotropic drug prescription rates compared to before the drug review.
In recent years, Hong Kong is undergoing rapid changes together with macro social and economic trends. The increasingly complex and diverse family structure is leading to a major concern in the well-being of families, including their health, happiness and harmony (3Hs). Family life and health education should be strengthened to meet the increasing needs of healthy lifestyle promotion. In light of these concerns, the Happy Family Kitchen Movement (HFKM) project, with a focus on "FAMILY Holistic Health", will be conducted at territory-wide level in Hong Kong. HFKM is a community-based research project to develop, implement and evaluate a community-based family intervention program for improving family well-being. It is expected that participants of the community-based family interventions will gain knowledge on family holistic health and in turn promote a healthy lifestyle for 3Hs.
