Title: | Perceived effectiveness and satisfaction of a community-based positive youth development program : findings based on high school students | Authors: | Shek, DTL Leung, JTY Law, MYM Chan, KSY |
Issue Date: | Nov-2017 | Source: | International journal on disability and human development, Nov. 2017, v. 16, no. 4, p. 367-375 | Abstract: | This study examined participants’ perceptions of a community-based positive youth development (PYD) program (the Project P.A.T.H.S.) based on the responses of 16,420 junior secondary students who joined the program in 2015. Subjective outcome evaluation approach was adopted to examine the students’ views of program content, program instructors, and program effectiveness. Consistent with previous studies, results showed that students generally perceived the program positively, and positive relationships were found amongst the three domains of evaluation. Multiple regression analyses showed that perceived program content and instructor qualities were significant predictors and could explain 35% of the variance in program effectiveness perceived by the participants. The present findings are basically consistent with previous subjective outcome evaluation findings derived from the school-based and community-based programs of the Project P.A.T.H.S. in Hong Kong. | Keywords: | Client satisfaction Positive youth development Program effectiveness Project P.A.T.H.S.
