Biography
Professor Ho Long Kwan is an Assistant Professor at the Nethersole School of Nursing, Faculty of Medicine, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. She received her degrees of BNurs (1st Hons), MPhil and PhD from The University of Hong Kong. Her research focuses on eliminating addictive behaviours such as alcohol drinking and tobacco use, as well as preventing non-communicable diseases.
Professor Ho has obtained a number of external competitive research grants recently. One of her ongoing research projects investigates the effect of an internet-based dialectical behaviour therapy-informed skills training (DBT-ST) in reducing alcohol consumption among adult drinkers, which has laid the foundation for the application of DBT-ST in curbing alcohol use. Her research findings have been published in several high-quality international refereed nursing and health-related journals, such as Journal of Advanced Nursing, and Cancer Nursing.
