Table_1_Factors associated with willingness and preferences to attend family services in Hong Kong: A population-based survey.docx

ObjectiveFamily services are open to the community at large as well as vulnerable groups; however, little is known about the willingness of communities to attend such services. We investigated the willingness and preferences to attend family services and their associated factors (including sociodemographic characteristics, family wellbeing, and family communication quality) in Hong Kong.MethodsA population-based survey was conducted on residents aged over 18 years from February to March 2021. Data included sociodemographic characteristics (sex, age, education, housing type, monthly household income, and the number of cohabitants), willingness to attend family services to promote family relationships (yes/no), family service preferences (healthy living, emotion management, family communication promotion, stress management, parent-child activities, family relationship fostering, family life education, and social network building; each yes/no), family wellbeing, and family communication quality (both scores 0–10). Family wellbeing was assessed using the average scores of perceived family harmony, happiness and health (each score 0–10). Higher scores indicate better family wellbeing or family communication quality. Prevalence estimates were weighted by sex, age and educational level of the general population. Adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) for the willingness and preferences to attend family services were calculated in relation to sociodemographic characteristics, family wellbeing, and family communication quality.ResultsOverall, 22.1% (1,355/6,134) and 51.6% (996/1,930) of respondents were willing to attend family services to promote relationships or when facing problems, respectively. Older age (aPR = 1.37–2.30, P < 0.001–0.034) and having four or more cohabitants (aPR = 1.44–1.53, P = 0.002–0.003) were associated with increased aPR of willingness for both situations. Lower family wellbeing and communication quality were associated with lower aPR for such willingness (aPR = 0.43–0.86, P = 0.018–

ObjectiveFamily服务向广大社区及易受伤害的群体开放；然而，关于社区参与此类服务的意愿知之甚少。本研究旨在探讨香港居民参与家庭服务的意愿与偏好及其相关因素（包括社会人口统计学特征、家庭福祉和家庭沟通质量）。研究方法：于2021年2月至3月对18岁以上的居民进行了基于人群的调查。数据包括社会人口统计学特征（性别、年龄、教育程度、住房类型、月家庭收入和共同居住人数）、参与家庭服务以促进家庭关系的意愿（是/否）、家庭服务偏好（健康生活、情绪管理、家庭沟通促进、压力管理、亲子活动、家庭关系培养、家庭生活教育和社会网络建设；每个选项是/否）、家庭福祉和家庭沟通质量（评分均为0-10分）。家庭福祉通过感知家庭和谐、幸福和健康（每个评分0-10分）的平均得分来评估。评分越高，表明家庭福祉或家庭沟通质量越好。普遍性估计值按总人口性别、年龄和教育水平加权。计算了与社会人口统计学特征、家庭福祉和家庭沟通质量相关的调整后普遍性比率（aPR），以评估参与家庭服务的意愿和偏好。结果：总体而言，22.1%（1,355/6,134）的受访者愿意参与家庭服务以促进关系，51.6%（996/1,930）的受访者愿意在面临问题时参与家庭服务。随着年龄的增长（aPR = 1.37–2.30，P < 0.001–0.034）以及共同居住人数为四人或以上（aPR = 1.44–1.53，P = 0.002–0.003），两种情况下愿意的调整后普遍性比率均增加。家庭福祉和沟通质量的降低与这种意愿的调整后普遍性比率降低相关（aPR = 0.43–0.86，P = 0.018–
