Bridging the Gaps through Integrated Care
Integrated care has emerged as a potential solution in advancing post-stroke care. Apart from ensuring the provision of comprehensive care to stroke patients, integrated care also fosters collaboration and coordination among diverse healthcare providers. As such, it is crucial to identify the best evidence of integrated care initiatives in real-world settings to support future care optimization. However, unlike other diseases or population groups…
Perceptions, willingness-to-pay, and associated socio-demographics of sugar-sweetened beverage taxation in an affluent Asian setting
The mediating role of individual-level social capital among worries, mental health and subjective well-being among adults in Hong Kong during the Covid-19 pandemic
Changes in all-cause and cause-specific excess mortality before and after the Omicron outbreak of Covid-19 in Hong Kong
Background: While coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) deaths were generally underestimated in many countries, Hong Kong may show a different trend of excess mortality due to stringent measures, especially for deaths related to respiratory diseases. Nevertheless, the Omicron outbreak in Hong Kong evolved into a territory-wide transmission, similar to other settings such as Singapore, South Korea, and recently, mainland China. We hypothesized that the exce…
Relationship between temperature variability and daily hospitalisations in Hong Kong over two decades
Background: Studies have highlighted the impacts of temperature variability (TV) on mortality from respiratory diseases and cardiovascular diseases, with inconsistent results specifically in subtropical urban areas than temperate ones. We aimed to fully determine TV-associated health risks over a spectrum of diseases and various subgroups in a subtropical setting. Methods: Using inpatient data from all public hospitals in Hong Kong from 1999 to 2…
Experience of South and Southeast Asian minority women in Hong Kong during Covid-19 pandemic
Even when COVID-19 incidence rate is relatively low in Hong Kong, the pandemic made life even more challenging for SAs and SEAs, which is a community already struggling with language barriers, financial woes, and discrimination. This in turn could have led to greater health inequalities. Government and civil organizations should take the social determinants of health inequalities into account when implementing COVID-19-related public health polic…
Differential Impacts of Multimorbidity on Covid-19 Severity across the Socioeconomic Ladder in Hong Kong
The severity of COVID-19 infections could be exacerbated by the epidemic of chronic diseases and underlying inequalities in social determinants of health. Nonetheless, there is scanty evidence in regions with a relatively well-controlled outbreak. This study examined the socioeconomic patterning of COVID-19 severity and its effect modification with multimorbidity in Hong Kong. 3074 local COVID-19 cases diagnosed from 5 July to 31 October 2020 wer…
Unequal availability of workplace policy for prevention of coronavirus disease 2019 across occupations and its relationship with personal protection behaviours
Protection of the quantity and quality of employment is important. Awareness about the disease and its prevention among employers and administrators should be promoted, and resources should be allocated to publish guidelines and implement measures in the workplace during the pandemic. Both work-from-home arrangement and other policies and responses for those who cannot work from home including guidelines encouraging the health behaviours, informa…
Measuring health-related social deprivation in small areas
Our newly developed SDI is a valid and routinely available measurement of social deprivation in small areas and is useful in resource allocation and policy-making for public health purpose in communities. There is a potential large improvement in cancer mortality by offering relevant policies and interventions to reduce health-related deprivation. Further studies can be done to design strategies to reduce the expanding health inequalities between…
Long-term effectiveness of elderly health care voucher scheme strategies
Our findings will assist officials in improving the design of the EHCV scheme, within the wider context of promoting primary care among the elderly. We suggest that an additional chronic disease-oriented voucher can serve as an alternative strategy. The scheme must be redesigned to address more specific objectives or provide a separate voucher that promotes under-utilized healthcare services (e.g., preventive care), instead of services designed f…
Examining the Gaps and Issues of End-of-Life Care among Older Population through the Lens of Socioecological Model—A Multi-Method Qualitative Study of Hong Kong
End-of-life (EOL) care for terminal illness and life-limiting conditions is a sector in the health service spectrum that is drawing increased attention. Despite having the world's longest life expectancy and an ever-escalating demand for long-term care, Hong Kong's EOL care was underdeveloped. The current study aims to provide a holistic picture of gaps and issues to EOL care in Hong Kong. Data collection was conducted using a multi-method qualit…
