Brief Summary

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.

Study Arms (3)

Physical Exercise (PE)

EXPERIMENTAL

Physical exercise will be promoted through the use of one of three positive psychology themes: joy, gratitude and savoring. It will comprise of a core intervention session on physical exercise, a booster session at 1 month to consolidate the knowledge and skills that they have gained, followed by a follow-up session at 3 months on healthy diet. Trained facilitators will have the relevant knowledge and skills to carry out the intervention effectively.

Behavioral: Physical Exercise (PE)

Healthy Diet (HD)

EXPERIMENTAL

Healthy diet will be promoted through the use of one of three positive psychology themes: joy, gratitude and savoring. It will include a core intervention session on healthy diet, a booster session at 1 month to consolidate the knowledge and skills that they have gained, followed by a follow-up session at 3 months on physical exercise. Trained facilitators will have the relevant knowledge and skills to carry out the intervention effectively.

Behavioral: Healthy Diet (HD)

Wait-list Control (C)

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

The control group will consist of a tea gathering session at the beginning and 1 month later, followed by a follow-up session at 3 months on physical exercise or healthy diet. The tea gathering sessions will cover topics unrelated to the intervention, such as arts and crafts workshops. Trained facilitators will have the relevant knowledge and skills to carry out the intervention effectively.
