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…
Breakfast skipping and depressive symptoms in an epidemiological youth sample in Hong Kong
Breakfast skipping is associated with elevated depressive symptoms in young people, with impaired attentional control being an important mechanism in this relationship. Encouraging young people to build regular breakfast habits may be incorporated as part of future lifestyle interventions for mental disorders and be further emphasised in public health policies
Early intervention in psychosis programs in Africa, Asia and Latin America; challenges and recommendations
