of Publishers reported that e-book sales had risen more than 49.4 % in the adult books category, 475.1 % in the
children's and young adult category, and 150.7 % in the religious publications category.5 We at the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project reported that ownership
of e-book readers among adults

of the population to 19 % over the holiday gift - giving season at the end
of 2011, and ownership
of tablet computers had surged a

Despite these modifications, consistencies with data
from other developed nations were apparent:
children's reports
of Social Integration at school were
similar to those reported previously in primary school samples in Australia14 and Hong Kong30 31; response patterns on the EATQ - R scales (Attention, Inhibitory Control, Perceptual Sensitivity and Aggression) aligned with data
from a community sample
of 1055 Dutch32 school students
of similar age and access to Supportive Relationships at Home, School and in the Community was
similar to that reported for a community sample
of Canadian fourth - grade school
children (~ 2 years younger than our sample).16 The pattern
of responses on the Big Five personality constructs was also consistent with that reported for an Australian sample
of 268
children aged 10 — 12 years33 using the full 65 - item version

Similar to findings
from SASH, childhood sexual abuse emerged as a particularly robust risk factor for suicide attempts in younger participants in the WMHS cross-national analysis, with a 10.9 times higher OR
of suicide attempts in
children, a 6.1 times higher likelihood in adolescents and a 2.9-fold risk in young adults who were exposed.20 This is in keeping with the Enns hypothesis that sexual abuse results in suicidal behaviour at a younger
age.21 Consistent with other studies, childhood physical and sexual abuse, in particular, emerged as risk factors for the emergence and persistence
of suicidal behaviour, especially in adolescence.
Recent research conducted in mainland China found that obesity prevalence was higher among
children in wealthier families, 4 but the patterns were different in Hong Kong with higher rates
of childhood obesity among lower income families.4 5 Hong Kong, despite having a per capita gross domestic product
of Hong Kong dollar (HK$) 273 550, has large income differences between rich and poor as reflected by a high Gini coefficient
of 0.539 reported in 2016; approximately 20 %
of the population are living in poverty as defined by a monthly household income below half
of the Hong Kong median.6 It is widely accepted that population health tend to be worse in societies with greater income inequalities, and hence low - income families in these societies are particularly at risk
of health problems.7 In our previous study,
children from Hong Kong Chinese low - income families experienced poorer health and more behavioural problems than other
children in the population at
similar age.8 Adults
from these families also reported poorer health - related quality
of life (HRQOL), 9 with 6.1 %
of the parents having a known history
of mental illness and 18.2 %
of them reporting elevated level
of stress.
