An evaluation framework, called the Hong Kong Healthy Schools Award, has been developed to enable comprehensive collection and analysis of data reflecting the status of health-promoting schools (HPS) in Hong Kong. The key findings revealed a high prevalence of emotional problems, unhealthy eating habits, physical inactivity and risk-taking behaviours, leading to both intentional and unintentional injuries among students with higher prevalence among secondary school students. The results indicated a substantial lack of health policies in schools; it also indicated health services in schools not readily accessible to students and staff, and insufficient staff training in health promotion and education. However, most schools have made initiatives in environmental protection, established safety guidelines and strategies for managing students with emotional problems. The success of HPS depends largely on teachers' understanding of its building blocks. Evidence from the comprehensive mapping of the status of HPS in Hong Kong and from student surveys does show encouraging outcomes as well as identifying priority issues to be addressed in the next 5 years.
一个名为“香港健康学校奖”的评估框架已被开发出来，以便全面收集和分析反映香港健康促进学校（HPS）状况的数据。主要调查结果显示，情绪问题、不健康饮食习惯、身体活动不足和冒险行为的发生率很高，导致学生中有意和无意伤害的发生率较高，其中中学生的发生率更高。结果表明学校严重缺乏健康政策；还表明学校的健康服务学生和教职员工难以获得，并且在健康促进和教育方面的员工培训不足。然而，大多数学校已在环境保护方面采取了举措，制定了安全准则和管理情绪问题学生的策略。健康促进学校的成功很大程度上取决于教师对其组成要素的理解。香港健康促进学校状况的全面梳理以及学生调查的证据确实显示了令人鼓舞的成果，并确定了未来5年需要解决的优先问题。
