Community-based positive youth development program in Hong Kong: views of the program implementers
Program implementers positively viewed the Project P.A.T.H.S. Tier 1 Program, finding its content, staff, and benefits satisfactory. Perceived program quality predicted effectiveness, indicating successful youth development program implementation.
Area of Science:
- Positive youth development
- Program implementation and evaluation
- Community-based interventions
Background:
- Project P.A.T.H.S. (Promoting Adolescent, Health, and Talent, Success) is a community-based positive youth development program.
- The Tier 1 Program is a foundational component of Project P.A.T.H.S.
- Understanding implementer perspectives is crucial for program success and sustainability.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore program implementers' perspectives on the Tier 1 Program of Project P.A.T.H.S. in Hong Kong.
- To assess implementer satisfaction with program content, implementers, and benefits.
- To examine the relationship between perceived program attributes and program effectiveness.
Main Methods:
- Data collected from 634 program implementers of the Tier 1 Program in Hong Kong in 2013.
- A validated client satisfaction scale (Form B) was administered upon program completion.
- Analysis of perceived program content, implementers, benefits, and effectiveness.
Main Results:
- Program implementers reported positive perceptions of the program, its staff, and its benefits.
- No significant differences were found in perceived program content, implementers, or effectiveness across three grade levels.
- Perceived program quality was a significant predictor of program effectiveness, but implementer perceptions did not predict effectiveness.
Conclusions:
- The Tier 1 Program of Project P.A.T.H.S. was well-received by program implementers in Hong Kong.
- Program implementer satisfaction is a key factor in perceived program effectiveness.
- Findings support the positive reception and potential effectiveness of this youth development initiative.
