KeySteps@JC Phase Two Study

This proposed 'KeySteps Phase Two Study' is a 5-year study, which aims to investigate the effectiveness and sustainability of a Community Child Health Model with different services related to healthy lifestyle programmes and health promotion implemented in community settings of deprived living areas. Potential participants are children studying or living in the five selected districts, namely Sham Shui Po, Yuen Long, Tuen Mun, Sha Tin and Kowloon City. Data including children's health and psychosocial conditions, and family demographics will be collected. In addition, subjects will receive on-site assessments on general health and development. Medical and health related events of subjects will be tracked through the existing health care system. Subjects will receive health promotion services and/or lifestyle modification programmes according to their needs.
