The unique contribution of Schizotypal personality subscales to psychotic-like experiences and social-personality factors in Hong Kong community youths
The study highlights the replicability of subclinical schizotypy traits in Hong Kong youths. Each of the three factors had overlapping and unique associations with psychopathological and social-personality outcomes that can predispose individuals to mental ill health
Cost-effectiveness of culturally-adapted counselling mental distress in low-income ethnic minorities in Hong Kong
Introduction Culturally adapted counselling (CAC) offers a potential solution by delivering culturally tailored early psychological support. However, its cost-effectiveness for reducing mental distress among EMs remains understudied, particularly in Asian settings. This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness of CAC compared to waitlist controls for low-income South Asian EMs experiencing mental distress in Hong Kong , using a healthcare perspecti…
Resilient, undercontrolled, and overcontrolled personality types in Hong Kong youths and the association with mental health outcomes
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between RUO types and mental health in a youth sample in Hong Kong. BACKGROUND: Previous research has found that Resilient, Undercontrolled, and Overcontrolled (RUO) personality types derived from Big Five personality traits are associated with mental health outcomes. Most studies, however, have predominantly been conducted in Western societies. METHOD: Clinical diagnostic interviews and…
Systematic review and meta-analysis of internalised stigma and stigma resistance in patients with psychosis
Environmental stress and emotional reactivity
Using ESM, a valid, reliable, and easy-to-use self-reporting tool, our findings provided valuable insights on the potential mechanisms underlying emotional responses to stressful environments
Individual and Interactive Effects of Housing and Neighborhood Quality on Mental Health in Hong Kong
Existing literature has widely explored the individual roles of housing and neighborhood quality, and there is limited research examining their interactive effects on mental health. This 3-year cohort study utilized a longitudinal design to investigate the individual and interactive effects of housing and neighborhood quality on mental health among 962 community-dwelling adults in Hong Kong. Participants were asked to rate their residential quali…
Significance of timely responses to mental health crises during unprecedented societal and global changes using an agile, empathic and user-centred digital approach
Cognitive subgroups and the relationships with symptoms, psychosocial functioning and quality of life in first-episode non-affective psychosis
Our results affirmed cognitive heterogeneity in FEP and identified three subgroups, which were differentially associated with demographic and illness-related variables. Further research should clarify longitudinal relationships of cognitive subgroups with clinical and functional outcomes in FEP
Rate and correlates of self-stigma in adult patients with early psychosis
More than one-fourth of early psychosis patients experienced significant self-stigma, highlighting an unmet need for early detection and intervention of self-stigma in the initial years of illness. Further investigation is warranted to clarify trajectories and predictors of self-stigma in the early illness course
The mediating role of knowledge on the contact and stigma of mental illness in Hong Kong
BACKGROUND: Although knowledge is a crucial component in contact theory delineating how prejudice changes toward out-groups with stigmatized conditions, little is known about the mediating role of knowledge on contact, stigmatizing attitudes, and behaviors toward mental illness. AIM: This study aimed to examine the mechanism underlie contact and stigma change by knowledge. METHODS: A total of 366 participants including family members (FM), mental…
Altered Risk-Taking Behavior in Early-Stage Bipolar Disorder With a History of Psychosis
Altered risk-taking propensity is an important determinant of functional impairment in bipolar disorder. However, prior studies primarily assessed patients with chronic illness, and risk-taking has not been evaluated in the early illness course. This study investigated risk-taking behavior in 39 euthymic early-stage bipolar disorder patients aged 16-40 years who were treated within 3 years from their first-episode mania with psychotic features an…
A population study of public stigma about psychosis and its contributing factors among Chinese population in Hong Kong
PURPOSE: Public stigma is an important barrier to the recovery of patients with psychosis. This study aimed to explore public stigma associated with a newly adopted Chinese name for psychosis 'si-jue-shi-tiao' in a representative Chinese population in Hong Kong, focusing on factors contributing to public stigma. Exposure to mass media and its relationship with the stigma were explored in detail. METHODS: Random telephone survey of general populat…
Family Burdens, Chinese Health Beliefs, and the Mental Health of Chinese Caregivers in Hong Kong

It also examined the impacts of these beliefs on caregivers' burdens and mental health. A structured questionnaire was administered to 125 Chinese caregivers in out-patient clinics in Hong Kong. Measures included distress (General Health Questionnaire), family burdens and belief in…
