Practice-based morbidity studies conducted in primary care settings have proven to be helpful in documentation of disease prevalence and for service planning. With the change in morbidity pattern and the aging population, our study will help to inform primary health care policy and guide work force and service planning.\n\nMethod:\n\nThis is a prospective practice-based study of health problems presenting in primary care. Doctors who agree to participate in the study will record the health problem and type of management performed in consecutive patient encounters for one of the designated weeks during each season over the course of one year.\n\nAnalysis:\n\nData collected will be analysed by descriptive statistics, comparison with data from previous morbidity study, and by non-linear mixed effects for factors associated with morbidity and management patterns in primary care.\n\nResults:\n\nFindings will will 1) provide evidence to support the allocation of resources to continue and to expand primary care initiatives that support the provision of quality chronic disease care in private sector, 2) enable continued surveillance of the morbidity trends in Hong Kong by providing data for comparison with past and future studies, and 3) inform the content of educational curricula for medical and health care students and practitioners to prepare them to better meet the needs of the community.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD', 'ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Primary care doctors in Hong Kong who are working in the public sector (GOPC), Department of Health Clinic, private solo practices, university health services, non-profit organizations and private hospital family medicine clinics', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Consented primary care doctors in Hong Kong who are working in:\n* the public sector (GOPC), or\n* Department of Health Clinic, or\n* private solo or group practices, or\n* university health services, or\n* non-profit organizations, or\n* private hospital family medicine clinics\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Doctors who do not consent\n* Doctors who are not working as primary care doctors'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT04736992', 'briefTitle': 'HKCFP-HKU Primary Care Morbidity Survey in Hong Kong', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'The University of Hong Kong'}, 'officialTitle': 'HKCFP-HKU Primary Care Morbidity Survey in Hong Kong', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'HKUCTR-2916'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'interventions': [{'name': 'No intervention involved', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'No intervention involved'}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'city': 'Hong Kong', 'country': 'Hong Kong', 'facility': 'Department of Family Medicine and Primary Care, University of Hong Kong', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 22.27832, 'lon': 114.17469}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Julie Y Chen, MD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Department of Family Medicine and Primary Care, University of Hong Kong'}, {'name': 'Cindy LK Lam, MD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Department of Family Medicine and Primary Care, University of Hong Kong'}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'NO', 'description': 'There is not a plan to make IPD available.'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'The University of Hong Kong', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Associate Professor (Teaching)', 'investigatorFullName': 'Dr Julie Yun Chen', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'The University of Hong Kong'}}}}
