Core Tip

Core Tip: This is a survey by a self-designed questionnaire to investigate the awareness of initiative practice for health (IPFH) and related knowledge in the Chinese population. IPFH is a process whereby people take the initiative to improve health. The Chinese population has limited knowledge of the IPFH, although most citizens are concerned about health in their daily lives. Age, medical-related work experience, and monthly income are the influencing factors of IPFH awareness.
