Abstract

In this chapter we investigated program implementers' views on the Tin Ka Ping Project P.A.T.H.S. in its first year of implementation in senior high schools in mainland China. After completion of the program, 33 program implementers completed the Subjective Outcome Evaluation Form (Form B). Results showed that over 90% of the implementers had positive views of program content, their self-performance and program effectiveness. In line with previous evaluation studies, perceived worker performance was found to predict perceived program effectiveness. Nevertheless, program content did not predict program effectiveness. Findings of the present study underscore the benefits of implementing the Project P.A.T.H.S. in senior high schools in mainland China.
