The intent of this study was to evaluate the program effectiveness of the Project P.A.T.H.S. (Positive Adolescent Training through Holistic Social Programmes) (Secondary 1 Curriculum) by analyzing 207 school-based program reports, in which 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 conducted and 1,855 meaningful units were extracted from 1,035 "aggregated" conclusions. Among them, about 27 and 18% were related to perceptions of the program and implementers, respectively, and most of them were positive in nature. About one-third was related to perceived effectiveness of the program, and most of them referred to enhancement of students' development in societal, familial, interpersonal, and personal aspects. However, difficulties encountered during program implementation (3.34%) and recommendations for improvement (18.11%) were also reported. The present study replicated the findings reported in previous studies and suggests that the Tier 1 Program of the Project P.A.T.H.S. is beneficial to the development of the program participants.
本研究旨在通过分析207份校本项目报告来评估“成长的天空”计划（全方位青少年社会能力提升计划）（中一课程）的项目成效。在这些报告中，项目实施者被邀请根据从项目参与者和项目实施者收集的主观成果评估数据整合情况写下五点结论。进行了二次数据分析，从1035条“汇总”结论中提取了1855个有意义的单元。其中，分别约有27%和18%与对项目和实施者的看法有关，且大多数看法是积极的。约三分之一与项目的感知成效有关，且大多数提到了学生在社会、家庭、人际和个人方面发展的提升。然而，也报告了项目实施过程中遇到的困难（3.34%）和改进建议（18.11%）。本研究重复了先前研究报告的结果，并表明“成长的天空”计划的第一层级项目对项目参与者的发展有益。
