Abstract EN
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Tier 1 Program of the Project P.A.T.H.S.
(Positive Adolescent Training through Holistic Social Programmes) in Hong Kong by analyzing 1,327 school-based program reports submitted by program implementers.
In each report, program implementers were invited to write down five conclusions based on an integration of the subjective outcome evaluation data collected from the program participants and program implementers.
Secondary data analyses were carried out by aggregating nine databases, with 14,390 meaningful units extracted from 6,618 conclusions.
Results showed that most of the conclusions were positive in nature.
The findings generally showed that the workers perceived the program and program implementers to be positive, and they also pointed out that the program could promote holistic development of the program participants in societal, familial, interpersonal, and personal aspects.
However, difficulties encountered during program implementation (2.15%) and recommendations for improvement were also reported (16.26%).
In conjunction with the evaluation findings based on other strategies, the present study suggests that the Tier 1 Program of the Project P.A.T.H.S.
is beneficial to the holistic development of the program participants.
