Hi, Dr. MEL, may I ask about the nature of the community? I wonder which one is more important for the community, its culture recognition or territorial division?

Following my previous post, I have searched for some secondary data and found out that community-dwelling adults generally live longer than those in institutions. That’s very interesting. I want to ask, then, can I say that for the benefit of older adults, living in a community is better than living in institutions?

Hello. Community mental health services for severe mental illness is of particular significance under pandemic. However, Hong Kong’s social distancing restrictions might strongly weaken individuals’ social support ties.

Hi friend. When our team tried to collect data, we found that, generally, residents in squatter areas have low education levels. Hence, it was difficult for them to fill in the questionnaire independently. I wonder if we could read out the questions, get the answers from them, and fill in the questionnaire on our behalf?
