Title: | Evaluation of a community-based positive youth development program for adolescents with greater psychosocial needs : views of the program participants | Authors: | Shek, DTL Ma, CMS Law, MYM Zhao, Z |
Issue Date: | Nov-2017 | Source: | International journal on disability and human development, Nov. 2017, v. 16, no. 4, p. 387-393 | Abstract: | The present study attempted to investigate the perceptions of Chinese secondary school students with greater psychosocial needs of the Tier 2 Program in the community-based phase of P.A.T.H.S. Project in Hong Kong (n=4245). Using a subjective outcome evaluation tool (Form C), the results revealed that a great majority of the students held positive attitudes toward the program, implementers and the effectiveness of the program. Also, the three domains of the program (“program quality”, “implementer quality” and “program effectiveness”) were significantly associated with each other. In line with previous findings, both program content and program implementer quality were significant predictors of program effectiveness. The current findings further reinforce the thesis that the community-based Tier 2 programs of the P.A.T.H.S. Project are effective in promoting the holistic development of adolescents with greater psychosocial needs in Hong Kong. | Keywords: | Chinese adolescents Positive youth development Program evaluation Problem behavior Project P.A.T.H.S |
