| Title: | Interim evaluation of the Project P.A.T.H.S. : findings based on different datasets | Authors: | Shek, DTL Yu, L |
Issue Date: | 2012 | Source: | The scientific world journal, 2012, v. 2012, 132826, p. 1-8 | Abstract: | Interim evaluation studies were carried out in order to examine the implementation details of the Tier 1 Program of the Project P.A.T.H.S. (Positive Adolescent Training through Holistic Social Programmes) in Hong Kong. Quantitative results of the interim evaluation findings based on eight datasets collected from 2006 to 2009 are reported in this paper. Three hundred and seventy-eight schools were randomly selected to provide information on the implementation details of the program via face-to-face interviews, telephone interviews, and self-completed questionnaires. Results showed that a majority of the workers perceived that the students had positive responses to the program and the program was helpful to the students. In conjunction with other process evaluation findings, the present study suggests that the implementation quality of the Tier 1 Program of the Project P.A.T.H.S. is high. The present study also provides support for the effectiveness of the Tier 1 Program of the Project P.A.T.H.S. in Hong Kong. | Keywords: | Adolescent behavior Adolescent health services Interviews as topic Program evaluation |
