Abstract EN
An integration of the qualitative evaluation findings collected in different cohorts of students who participated in Project P.A.T.H.S.
(Positive Adolescent Training through Holistic Social Programmes) (n=252 students in 29 focus groups) was carried out.
With specific focus on how the informants described the program, results showed that the descriptions were mainly positive in nature, suggesting that the program was well received by the program participants.
When the informants were invited to name three metaphors that could stand for the program, positive metaphors were commonly used.
Beneficial effects of the program in different psychosocial domains were also voiced by the program participants.
The qualitative findings integrated in this paper provide further support for the effectiveness of the Tier 1 Program of Project P.A.T.H.S.
in promoting holistic development in Chinese adolescents in Hong Kong.
