During the COVID-19 pandemic, international migrant workers were often at risk of increased hardships due to disrupted employment, insecure residency status, and stringent government pandemic policies. Migrant domestic workers (MDW) who are typically required to live in the home of their employer, away from social support networks, may face additional stressors and vulnerabilities. This study seeks to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemi…
The Role of Stress and Perceived Social Support in the Association Between Perceived Discrimination and Mental Health Among Migrant Domestic Workers in Hong Kong
International migrant workers often face discrimination and poor work conditions that may negatively affect their mental health.

Thi…

This study seeks to understand determinants of vaccine uptake among female foreign domestic workers (FDWs) in Hong Kong. We conducted a cross-sectional study of female FDWs ( n = 581) from June to August 2021. Respondents completed an online survey obtaining sociodemographic, employment, and health status information. Based upon the socio…
Does subjective social status predict depressive symptoms in Chinese elderly? A longitudinal study from Hong Kong
Background Subjective social status (SSS), one’s self-perceived social status, has been gaining interest among researchers as a risk/protective factor of many health outcomes. SSS encompasses both socio-economic factors (eg, income) and intangible aspects of status (eg, esteem from peers). This study’s main objective was to examine the association between SSS and future risk of depression in elderly Chinese. Methods Using data from the ongoing Mr…
