|
To obtain longitudinal population wide information regarding the prevalence of eating disturbances in secondary school boys and girls in Hong Kong; to extend the dual pathway model (an existing model of disordered eating behaviors) to a rapidly changing culture by assessing the effect of modernization and its hypothesized mediators on the key components of the model; and to assess the predictive value of the mediators to changes in eating disturbances at two year follow-up; to obtain information on psychiatric diagnoses and sub-clinical symptoms for a selected sub-sample who show symptoms of eating disturbance. |

Abstract: |

To assess the health consequences, costs, and cost-effectiveness of population-based mammography screening in Hong Kong Chinese women. Our primary hypothesis is that unlike in Western poopulations, mammography screening is nt cost-effective in the local context. However, given the continuing upward trend in the incidence of breast cancer, a parallel aim is to establish a set of epidemiologic threshold parameters beyond which screening should be re-evaluated. |

To assess key demographic and non-demographic cost drivers of LTC spending and to derive reliable quantitative estimates of expenditure projection to 2033. Specifically, we will estimate three key linked outcomes that determine LTC spending: 1) the future numbers of older people requiring LTC; 2) the likely level of demand for LTC services and disability benefits for old people; and 3) the costs, by financing source, associated with this demand. |

To estimate the current cost of treating in Hong Kong which is associated with excess body weight and the likely changes in these costs over time under differing assumptions; (1) to estimate the current cost of treating cases of uncomplicated diabetes and the main complications to (a) the public health care system; (b) individuals with diabetes i.e. out of pocket payments and impact on quality of life; (2) to collect information on (a) the risk of diabetes with rising weight, (b) the risk of complications in those who have diabetes and (c) the current levels of increased body weight in the local population; (3) to use the information from (1) and (2) to build a decision-tree based Markov model to simulate the cost of diabetes in the Hong Kong population over future years under various scenarios and thus predict the changes in these costs associated with changes in rates of obesity for different age groups. |

To examine the effect of the implementation of smoke-free workplaces in Hong Kong by (1) examining trends in deaths and admissions to hospital for conditions associated with passive smoking over the years prior to and immediately following the implementaion of the smoke-free policy (2) identifying any significant change in rates of deaths and admissions which coincides with the introduction of the policy after accounting for underlying trends and confounders. |

Abstract: |
|
To estimate the current cost of treating in Hong Kong which is associated with excess body weight and the likely changes in these costs over time under differing assumptions; (1) to estimate the current cost of treating cases of uncomplicated diabetes and the main complications to (a) the public health care system; (b) individuals with diabetes i.e. out of pocket payments and impact on quality of life; (2) to collect information on (a) the risk of diabetes with rising weight, (b) the risk of complications in those who have diabetes and (c) the current levels of increased body weight in the local population; (3) to use the information from (1) and (2) to build a decision-tree based Markov model to simulate the cost of diabetes in the Hong Kong population over future years under various scenarios and thus predict the changes in these costs associated with changes in rates of obesity for different age groups. |

To compare which of the following is more cost effective than others. (1) Baseline: the DH's current annual immunization programme for institutionalized elderly; (2) Opportunistic: progamme where the elderly are invited to be vaccinated when they visit the healthcare system; (3) comprehensive strategies: four hypothetical programmes which result in 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% immunization coverage. |
