Developing community-based preventive interventions in Hong Kong: a description of the first phase of the family project.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This paper describes the development of culturally-appropriate family-based interventions and their relevant measures, to promote family health, happiness and harmony in Hong Kong. Programs were developed in the community, using a collaborative approach with community partners. The development process, challenges, and the lessons learned are described. This experience may be of interest to the scientific community as there is little information currently available about community-based development of brief interventions with local validity in cultures outside the West.

Methods

The academic-community collaborative team each brought strengths to the development process and determined the targets for intervention (parent-child relationships). Information from expert
