Health Support Program
The Health Support Program (HSP) is a structured, multi-component intervention. The nutrition component will consist of one 45-minute \[for those without intellectual disability (ID)\] or 30-minute \[for ID participants\] group-based healthy eating education session per week, led by registered dietitians. The physical activity component will consist of three 30-minute sessions per week led by registered physiotherapists, together with the encouragement of community exercise and walk every day. Self-management of chronic conditions component will be implemented weekly in a 45-minute \[for non-ID participants\] or 30-minute \[for ID participants\] education session in a group format, which will be led by occupational therapists and nurses. To accommodate cognitive deficits in participants with ID and maximize their learning outcomes, additional support will be provided in terms of the structure (e.g., interactive format) of the intervention.
