DR. CHARLES E. IRWIN, JR.
DIRECTOR OF THE DIVISION OF ADOLESCENT &
YOUNG ADULT MEDICINE & DIRECTOR OF HEALTH POLICY IN THE DEPARTMENT OF PEDIATRICS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA,
SAN FRANCISCO (UCSF)
IRIS LITT VISITING PROFESSOR ON ADOLESCENT HEALTH RESEARCH 2016
Comments made at the Press Conference
as a world expert on Adolescent Health
• Globally, mental health disorders (especially depression) are the number one cause of disease burden on adolescents.
• Increasing adolescents and young adults are gaining their information from web-based sources of information or through chat rooms that discuss a number of health issues.
• These new sources of gaining information on health and well-being provide both opportunities and risks for reaching young people.
Opportunities
– E.g. adolescents can recognize mental health disorders in their peers and recommend their peers to seek appropriate health care
Risks
– E.g. eating disorders websites to promote dieting & abnormal eating
6/10/2016
• We need to engage schools, community groups, health
professionals, media, business sector and the government to
educate and support our young people to develop adequate health literacy and identify appropriate and useful health information
• Successful example: Tobacco campaigns
• We need to extend these activities beyond tobacco and provide
similar approaches to both health promoting and damaging issues
How to identify mental health problems in youngsters?
– Teenagers during this period are struggling for physical, cognitive, psychological as well as self-esteem development
– Teenage behaviours are often affected by physical changes, peer relationships, high risk behaviours, environmental factors, and social trends
It is important to identify the underlying causes for their emotional and behavioural issues
6/10/2016
Adolescent is a period of rapid behavioral, cognitive and brain development, teenagers are prone to emotional and behavioral challenges
How to evaluate internet information and resources?
Is the source credible? Information in a journal or on the Web should have an identifiable source or an author. If the information is medical, credibility is
generally enhanced if it is provided by a medical institution, an entity that brings together medically knowledgeable professionals, or a government health agency.
Accuracy of information Try to determine whether the information is supported by evidence from scientific studies, other data or expert opinion.
Judge whether the information is mere personal experience or supported by a few cases
Analyze whether the information is based on evidence from a study, on expert opinion or is it merely the opinion of the writer, especially when obtaining information through instant messaging, internet forums, chat rooms and bulletins.
Is the information up-to- date?
Given that health information is constantly changing as new discoveries are made, it is important to make sure that the information is current.
Is there a conflict of interest?
Be aware of any commercial element or product related information that has been included in the health information. This may not fully reflect the real situation or there may be biased information. Analyze if the information is fair and objective.
Comments on Government’s Actions for Youth Suicide
• Committee on Prevention of Student Suicides
Set up at the end of March 2016
Chaired by Professor Paul Yip, Director of the Centre for Suicide Research and Prevention at the University of Hong Kong
Members comprising schools, parents, youth and student representatives;
professionals from the healthcare and social welfare sectors, and representatives of different government bureaus and departments
Only a psychiatrist and a clinical psychologist were involved
No pediatricians or primary healthcare workers
Only reactive to recent suicidal cases but no long term strategic plans on adolescent health
6/10/2016
Suggestions from HKPS and HKPF
1. Build up Core Value in Life
Encourage young people to identify personal interests and to develop one’s own talents rather than focusing on materialistic enjoyment or academic achievements
Life education for youngsters to review the value and goals in life
2. Training on resilience and positive youth development
Workshops or games to train up resilience
Training on problem solving skills and stress coping
3. Training on health literacy
Advocate the concept on Preventive Health Care to have early identification and intervention of any health issues
Empower young people to have self-identification and identification of peers who have mental health issues and refer them to seek professional help
Teach the skills on searching for reliable and correct health information and applying the information for making health decisions
Suggestions from HKPS and HKPF
4. Establish multiple channels to listen to youth voices
Channels at schools
Channels at families
Channels from peers
Channels from communities
Channels from professionals
5. Support parents to have effective communication with youth
Workshop for parents and youth to train up communication skills and enhance understanding of each other
6. Use of media for dissemination of positive messages and life stories and for training on health information literacy

problems

Intervention
Cost- effective
An effective health policy should follow this framework
Study indicates that early intervention can save up to 75% of health costs that
will be needed later in life
In the past 3 years (from 2012), the Hong Kong Pediatric Society and the Hong Kong Pediatric Foundation focus on
Child Health Policy

professionals to review the child health problems in our community and develop the first ever
Child Health Policy Proposal for Hong Kong

The Children's Commission
• As advised by the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child
• To supervise, implement, assess and measure outcome deliverables of the Child Health Policy
• It should be chaired by a Children's Commission who will look after the welfare and advocacy issues of the children
• It should be above-bureau and should be financially independent of government bureaus
• The policy should be implemented across different government
departments with appropriate resource allocation and holistic approach
• Together with the establishment of a Children’s Commission to investigate, monitor and implement the policy
