Department:Psychiatry
Source(s) of Funding:Hong Kong Research Grants Council Competitive Earmarked Research Grants
Start Date:11/2003
Abstract:
Obtain baseline information on the rates, forms, and patterns of high-risk behaviors among adolescents in Hong Kong; to empirically test the hypothesis that high-risk behaviors (such as smoking, substance abuse, and early sex) represent a single core construct versus the competing hypothesis that they represent multiple constructs or even distinct and isolated behavioral entities; to identify a set of risk and protective factors that may predispose (or protect) adolescents to (from) high-risk behaviors. These risk factors include individual factors as well as measurable vulnerabilities associated with modernization; to understand the developmental trajectories and causative influences of risk factors identified; to examine the longer term consequences (adverse end-points) of high-risk behaviors in terms of a broad range of mental and physical health problems problems as well as functioning.

Abstract:
Taking care of mentally people in the community is often a great stress to the caregivers (including family members and staff of those agencies which are involved in the rehabilitation of the patients in the community). They often lack the knowledge in mental illness and are not equipped with the skills in taking care of the mentally ill patients. Therefore apart from offering services to the patients, the service should be extended to cover the caregivers. They should have easy access to information (including written and audio-visual material) so that they can have better knowledge on mental illness and can learn the skills in taking care of the mentally ill patients. It is also important to help the public to change their attitude towards the mentally ill through various public education materials which improve their awardness, understanding and acceptance of mental illness in the community.
