The Tier 2 Program of the Project P.A.T.H.S. (Positive Adolescent Training through Holistic Social Programmes) targets adolescents with greater psychosocial needs, and the related programs were designed and implemented by school social workers. After completion of the Tier 2 Program (Secondary 1 Level), 9,931 participants in 212 schools responded to the Subjective Outcome Evaluation Form (Form C) in order to assess their views of the program, workers, and perceived effectiveness of the program. Based on the consolidated reports submitted by the agencies to the funding body, the research team aggregated the consolidated data to form a "reconstructed" overall profile on the perceptions of the program participants. Four major types of program were identified, including programs based on the adventure-based counseling approach (n = 58), programs concentrating on volunteer training and services (n = 31), programs offering both adventure-based counseling and volunteer training activities (n = 91), and other programs with different foci (n = 32). Results showed that high proportions of the respondents had positive perceptions of the programs and the workers, and over four-fifths of the respondents regarded the program as helpful to them. The present study provides support for the effectiveness of the Tier 2 Program of the Project P.A.T.H.S. in Hong Kong for the Full Implementation Phase.
“成长导向计划”（通过全面社会计划进行积极青少年培训）的第二层级项目针对有更大心理社会需求的青少年，相关项目由学校社会工作者设计并实施。在完成第二层级项目（中学一年级）后，212所学校的9931名参与者填写了主观结果评估表（C表），以评估他们对该项目、工作人员以及项目感知效果的看法。根据各机构提交给资助机构的综合报告，研究团队汇总综合数据，形成了一份关于项目参与者看法的“重构”总体概况。确定了四种主要类型的项目，包括基于冒险辅导方法的项目（n = 58）、专注于志愿者培训和服务的项目（n = 31）、同时提供冒险辅导和志愿者培训活动的项目（n = 91）以及其他具有不同重点的项目（n = 32）。结果显示，高比例的受访者对项目和工作人员有积极看法，超过五分之四的受访者认为该项目对他们有帮助。本研究为香港“成长导向计划”第二层级项目在全面实施阶段的有效性提供了支持。
