Summary

With the increasing use of information and communication technology (ICT), family information can be easily accessed. Family information seeking was found to be associated with higher levels of family well-being. Alongside the growth in popularity of ICTs and its role in promoting family well-being, there is also a growing appreciation that ICTs such as internet-enabled devices and web-based applications can offer many advantages compared to traditional face-to-face approaches when delivering behaviour change programmes.

Given the increasing use of ICT and its potential advantages in public education, ICTs emerge as new strategies of high impact service delivery in different community public education activities, including community events and workshops. Although ICT use is common in daily practice, the application of ICT in implementing public education activities is not common, especially in activities that promote family well-being.

The SMART Family-Link Project is to use ICT in public education activities to promote family communication, sharing happiness with family members, and well-being in the community. The public education activities include community public education events and community public education workshops. The present study aims to assess participants' satisfaction toward the public education activities, the efficiency in activities implementation, and the effectiveness of public education activities. Feedback from participants will be collected by questionnaire survey and interviews. Participants' engagement and response will be observed by observers and video and/or photo-taking.
