Community screening and education aim to curb chronic diseases
NCT ID NCT05790395
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study tested whether screening adults for unhealthy behaviors (like smoking, poor diet, or inactivity) and providing education could help prevent non-communicable diseases. Researchers enrolled 330 Chinese adults in Hong Kong who had at least one health-risk behavior. Participants received a mobile health and motivation-based program, and the goal was to see if they could change their habits and improve quality of life over 12 months.
