To investigate the FAMILY Health, Happiness and Harmony (3Hs) status; the changes of family and health information seeking and exposure behaviours; and the patterns of physical activity among Hong Kong people, etc.; the FAMILY Project initiated a population-based survey entitled “Hong Kong Family and Health Information Trends Survey” (HK-FHInTS) since 2009, with the funding of The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust.

The School of Public Health of The University of Hong Kong commissioned the Public Opinion Programme (POP) of The University of Hong Kong to conduct this survey. All are administered by trained interviewers who are experienced in conducting telephone interviews of the general population. This survey provides significant implications for planning and developing family and health-related programmes and policies for Hong Kong.
