HKU Announces A New Population-Based Cardiovascular Risk Factor Prevalence Study (N-CRISPS)

N-CRISPS has been launched in December 2019 and planned to invite up to 4000 participants over 4 years. Mail invitations will be sent to residents of randomly selected households registered at the Census and Statistics Department. Individuals who are interested can join this study by online registration, or by returning the filled reply slip with the Freepost envelop enclosed or by fax, or by calling our research officer during office hours.

Participants in this study will need to attend a single visit of 3-4 hours at the Queen Mary Hospital for a free and comprehensive health check for the presence of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, anemia, and abnormal function of the liver or kidney. An electrocardiogram (ECG) will also be performed. A detailed medical report will be provided thereafter and HKD 200 in cash will be provided as compensation for the transportation expenses.
