In May 2019, Professors Laura Kubzansky and Vish Viswanath presented at the Hong Kong Family Welfare Society’s 70th Anniversary Symposium, “Family Well-being in a Changing Society.” The symposium, which facilitated dialogue for cross-sector collaborations, aimed to raise awareness of the importance of family well-being in Hong Kong and advocate for developments of a Hong Kong Family Well-being index. Professor Viswanath presented on the sharing of family life information through information and communication technologies and family well-being, as well as how family well-being is influenced by new information and communication technologies. Professor Kubzansky gave the symposium’s keynote speech, focusing on how family functioning might affect health and well-being of both adults and children. She specifically discussed how factors such as parental warmth or effective problem solving affect family functioning.
