After completion of the Tier 2 Program of the Project P.A.T.H.S. (Positive Adolescent Training through Holistic Social Programmes), 8,489 participants in 196 schools responded to the Subjective Outcome Evaluation Form (Form C) to assess their views of the program, program workers, and perceived effectiveness of the program. Four major program elements were identified, including programs based on the adventure-based counseling approach (n = 48), programs concentrated on volunteer training and services (n = 44), programs with both the adventure-based counseling approach and volunteer training activities (n = 63), and other programs with different foci (n = 41). Descriptive statistics showed that the respondents had positive perceptions of the program, workers, and benefits of the program. Perceived qualities of the program and the program workers were positively associated with perceived effectiveness of the program. Multiple regression analysis revealed that perceived qualities of the program, but not the program workers, predicted perceived effectiveness of the program. The theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
在完成“P.A.T.H.S. 项目”（通过整体社会项目进行积极青少年培训）的第二阶段计划后，196所学校的8489名参与者对主观结果评估表（C表）做出回应，以评估他们对该项目、项目工作人员以及项目感知有效性的看法。确定了四个主要项目元素，包括基于冒险咨询方法的项目（n = 48）、专注于志愿者培训和服务的项目（n = 44）、兼具冒险咨询方法和志愿者培训活动的项目（n = 63）以及其他具有不同重点的项目（n = 41）。描述性统计表明，受访者对该项目、工作人员以及项目的益处持积极看法。对项目和项目工作人员的感知质量与对项目的感知有效性呈正相关。多元回归分析显示，对项目的感知质量而非项目工作人员能够预测项目的感知有效性。文中讨论了研究结果的理论和实际意义。
