Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The Self-Care Enablement Programme is to enable participants to keep themselves healthy, to build up self-efficacy and proper help-seeking skills, and to generate a spirit of mutual support among families. Two programmes will be delivered yearly, each with six 2.5 hour workshops facilitated by professional and lay leaders.
The Health Ambassador Programme aims to train up a group of adults recruited from the Trekkers families to act as a lay-advisor to other families on health issues. Participants who have completed the Health Literacy and Self-care Enablement programme will be given priority to take part in the Health Ambassador training programme.
The outcome measures are health enablement, health status, health-related quality of life, life style, cardiovascular risk factors, illnesses rates, and health service utilization pattern. All subjects in the cohort study will be surveyed on enrolment, and then yearly for 5 years. An age-gender appropriate health assessment will be carried out at baseline and at the end of five years for each subject. Changes in the outcomes will be evaluated and compared between groups. The impact of the health intervention programmes will be assessed.
