   • The AMH is a prestigious journal of gerontology. Using the Geriatric Depression Scale-15 (GDS-15) and the short form of the General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12), this study found that the Chinese elderly who live in old urban areas of Hong Kong are at risk of suffering from poor mental health because of their relatively deprived social conditions.

   • The focus of this study is placed on the substances abuse behavior among young people in the context of the underground rave culture. Both qualitative and quantitative methods (i.e. CDIS, CPIS) were used in the research. Based on the findings of this research, we suggested that the government should launch more programs to foster the development of resilience in young drug abusers and other young people at risk, and provide them with strategies to enhance their bonding to their family, to their school, and to the community.
