The School of Public Health at the University of Hong Kong (HKU SPH) commenced the ‘District Health Profile’ component of the study titled Jockey Club DATAZONE Primary Healthcare Project in January 2025, which aims to obtain comprehensive district health profiles to understand the mental, physical, and social health of adults as well as its determinants. This could be beneficial for informing the design of interventions in primary healthcare and the promotion of health and social policies to enhance overall wellbeing of adults in Hong Kong.

The study includes household visits within Southern, Wong Tai Sin, and Sai Kung districts to all household members aged 18 and above. HKUSPH has engaged the MOV Data Collection Centre Limited (米奧特資料搜集中心) to conduct in-person survey interviews starting from January 2025. Invitations will be sent to all households, which are randomly selected using a scientific method. MOV will also conduct home visits for further engagement between 10am and 10 pm from Monday to Sunday.

In addition to the interviews, participants will be invited to participate in another part of the study, which includes utilising a smartphone app for data collection over a period of one year.
