Aim: to prevent NCDs by screening and educating individuals in the community on health-risk behaviours. Specifically, we will use a mobile health and a brief self-determination theory-based intervention in helping individual change their health-risk behaviours. Hypotheses to be tested: compared with those in the control group, the participants in the intervention group will experience significantly greater success in modifying their health-risk behaviours and will have a better health-related quality of life at 12 months follow-up. Objectives 1. To screen individuals for health-risk behaviours and identify risk factors that may contribute to NCDs 2. To educate individuals on the importance of engaging in healthy lifestyles 3. To develop a training programme - "Train the Trainers' Toolkit", with the goal to train student nurses (Years 2 to 5) as health ambassadors to implement the project on a long-term basis.
