This article evaluates the implementation and effectiveness of feminist approaches to sex education through the review of 17 sex education programs shortlisted t…
Perspectives of Young People on Social Media-Based Sexuality Education Using a Feminist Approach in China
The feminist approach to sexuality education challenges and changes power dynamics and inequalities embedded within sexuality, while social media serves as a tool for building online communities and raising awareness about feminist issues. Adopting a feminist approach to sexuality education, particularly through social media platforms, remains largely unexplored and underdeveloped. In China, where traditional sex education is often limited and st…

Methods: Youth Sexuality Study conducted by The Family Planning Association of Hong Kong (FPAHK) evalu…
Online social media poses opportunities and risks in autistic youth
This qualitative study provided some insights into the OSM use among autistic young adults. OSM could be a useful tool to overcome potential limitations in social interactions, but at the same time it could potentially bring detrimental consequences. In order to maximize the benefits of online social networking, there is a need for timely guidance and support to use OSM among autists, and for psychoeducation to promote awareness, and enable adequ…

Mental health of African asylum-seekers and refugees in Hong Kong
A significant proportion of African ASRs in Hong Kong exhibits depressive symptoms. A complex interaction combining both social and perceptions of health and discrimination in the host society is likely exacerbated by their ASR status. The use of community support groups or even re-examination of the family reunification laws could improve the mental health and wellbeing of African ASRs in Hong Kong
Secrets, shame and guilt
This in-depth ethnographic study examines the processes, barriers and impacts experienced by Mainland Chinese caregivers residing in rural Yunnan for disclosing HIV status to their adolescents born with the infection and other community members. In particular, highlighted are their associated personal, social, relational and cultural vulnerabilities. A purposeful sample of 13 pairs of HIV-born adolescents between the ages of 11–19 years and their…
Psychological health and HIV transmission among female sex workers
A lost tribe in the city
The host government should have moral and ethical obligations to attend to the health needs of ASRs. Evidently a number of structural and health system factors have significantly impacted the health of African ASRs in Hong Kong. Changes to current policies regarding how African ASRs are handled whilst in Hong Kong but, more immediately, improvements in healthcare access are needed
The seven-year struggle
In the Second Quarter of 2013, there have been 11,017 one-way permit holders who have entered Hong Kong, a daily average of 121 persons. Among these, 43.3% are migrant women aged 25–44. The main sources of stress for these new arrivals are often described as financial burdens and their poor living environments. Little has been said about the challenges they have to face as second-class citizens, their status in their first seven years in Hong Kon…
Resilience in Work-Related Stress Among Female Sex Workers in Hong Kong
The literature on positive psychology and resilience demonstrates that individuals utilize their personal strengths and environmental resources to facilitate positive adaptation. Using a qualitative approach, we investigated how these frameworks operated as self-protective strategies for female sex workers to maintain their psychological and physical well-being under stressful socioeconomic and work-related conditions. Twenty-three female sex wor…

Prevalence of and Characteristics Associated with Use Of Withdrawal Among Women in Victoria, Australia
Withdrawal use is common, but there is a need for better education on proper use. Health professionals should discuss the risks and benefits of withdrawal, along with those of other methods, when discussing con-traception with their patients. Further research is needed into why women choose withdrawal
Contraception matters
Despite reported high contraceptive usage, nearly 40% of women were at risk for unintended pregnancy primarily due to inconsistent contraceptive use and use of ineffective contraception. Strategies for improving consistency of effective contraception use or greater emphasis on long-acting contraception may be needed for certain subpopulations at higher risk for unintended pregnancy
Health compromising behaviors among Chinese adolescents
This study examined the influence of immediate social environment on health compromising behaviors (HCB) among 6564 high school students in China. Results showed that physical abuse by parents was a major risk factor that accounted for high rates of HCB. Perceived positive school experience and social support were protective factors associated with low rates of HCB. These two protective factors also buffered the adverse influence of abuse on the …
Stigma and sex work from the perspective of female sex workers in Hong Kong
While the stigma surrounding sex work is both well documented and easily recognised, few studies examine stigma in this context from the perspective of the sex workers themselves. In this article we report on a study using a modified grounded theory approach to analyse a series of semi-structured interviews with 49 female sex workers in Hong Kong, in order to examine the ways in which this group experiences and negotiates the stigma which arises …

Individual, familial and community determinants of child physical abuse among high-school students in China
"One country, two systems"
BACKGROUND: Under the "two countries, one system" policy implemented by China to manage the return of Hong Kong's sovereignty, Hong Kong has maintained a comparatively prosperous economy within the Asian region. This has resulted in an environment which fosters migration from the mainland to Hong Kong, due largely to proximity, higher earning potential, common language, and a relaxing of border control measures. However not all mainland China cit…
To determine factors in an initiation of a same-sex relationship in rural China
The sexual behaviour and HIV risks among Chinese MSM in rural areas are grossly under-researched. The aims of this study were to explore the process and formation as well as the factors in an initiation of sexual relationship or act in among MSM in this cultural setting. Twenty-four in-depth interviews and observation were conducted in Dali prefecture in two field visits in 2004 and the data were analysed using grounded theory and an ethnographic…
The Caring Paradox
With prolonged longevity and present inadequate provisions of community support services, the stress of caregiving is profound. An analytical framework, namely, the “paradox of community care”, is presented and its effects for caregivers and receivers are analysed at both micro and macro levels with support from empirical data among elderly Chinese in Hong Kong. The implications are directed towards shared family care and developments for “Commun…
