Title: | Qualitative evaluation of the Project P.A.T.H.S. : an integration of findings based on program implementers | Authors: | Shek, DTL | Issue Date: | 2012 | Source: | The scientific world journal, 2012, v. 2012, 591816, p. 1-14 | Abstract: | An integration of the qualitative evaluation findings collected from program implementers conducting the Project P.A.T.H.S. (Positive Adolescent Training through Holistic Social Programmes) in different years (n = 177 participants in 36 focus groups) was carried out. General qualitative data analyses utilizing intra and interrater reliability techniques were performed. Results showed that the descriptors used to describe the program and the metaphors named by the informants that could stand for the program were generally positive in nature. Program participants also perceived the program to be beneficial to the development of the students in different psychosocial domains. The present study further supports the effectiveness of the Tier 1 Program of the Project P.A.T.H.S. in Hong Kong based on the perspective of the program implementers. | Keywords: | Adolescent Adolescent behavior Program evaluation Self efficacy Cohort studies Qualitative research |
