Title: | A stakeholder-collaborative evaluation of intervention for students with greater psychosocial needs | Authors: | Shek, DTL Yu, L |
Issue Date: | Sep-2012 | Source: | International journal of adolescent medicine and health, Sept. 2012, v. 24, no. 3, p. 223–230 | Abstract: | The Tier 2 Program of Project P.A.T.H.S. (Positive Adolescent Training through Holistic Social Programmes) in Hong Kong was designed and implemented by school social workers targeting adolescents with greater psychosocial needs. Based on the responses of 237 participants, 48 program implementers wrote down five conclusions on the program effectiveness in their reports submitted to the funding body. Based on a stakeholder-collaborative approach involving secondary data analyses, results showed that most conclusions were positive regarding participants’ perceptions of the program, instructors and their perceived program effectiveness, although there were also conclusions reflecting difficulties encountered and suggestions for improvements. In conjunction with the previous evaluation findings, the present study suggests that the Tier 2 Program was well received by the stakeholders and the program was beneficial to the development of the program participants. | Keywords: | Adolescents Hong Kong Positive youth development Project P.A.T.H.S.
