Brief Summary
In Hong Kong, nearly 40% of adults were overweight or obese, and about 60% of total registered deaths were due to four major preventable non-communicable diseases. Many residents are lack of attention to personal healthy lifestyle and family holistic health. This project focuses particularly on the promotion of healthy diet and physical activities enhancement in families through the well-established community network of the Hong Kong Island Women Association (HKIWA). This project includes three major components: Train-the-trainer and -ambassador workshop, community-based family interventions, and public education events. It is expected that knowledge and skills of the community leaders and ambassadors are strengthened through the 'Train-the-trainer and -ambassador' (TTTA) workshops. Furthermore, they are expected to help the implementation of community-based family interventions and public education events on the personal and family holistic health of the community participants.
