Ethan Siu Leung Cheung is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Social Work and Social Administration at The University of Hong Kong. Grounded in a social work perspective, his interdisciplinary research examines how home and neighborhood environments shape the well-being and quality of life of community-dwelling older adults, especially those from marginalized groups and individual living with disabilities. He is also committed to understanding how environmental spaces can be optimized to best support family caregivers of people with dementia. Using a range of methodological approaches—including quantitative analysis, qualitative analysis, and intervention research—Ethan’s work aims to advance inclusive, age-friendly home and community environments that foster health, quality of life, and social participation for older adults and their caregivers. Ethan’s current work explores how home and neighborhood environments can be leveraged to support family caregiving of people with dementia, generating insights to inform future interventions that improve caregiver well-being and caregiving experience.
