The sample consisted of 475 students in Grades 4–6 a…
Art-based career and life development intervention for non-engaged youth: A quasi-experimental outcome study
In this study, we evaluate We.CLAP, an innovative program for non-engaged youth (NEY) that integrates art-based activities with the Youth Development Intervention Framework (YDIF) to enhance NEY’s career and life development (CLD). Using a pretest–posttest quasi-experimental design, we compared changes in Career and Life Development Hope (CLDH) scale scores and transitional statuses between NEY in We.CLAP (intervention group, N = 181) and NEY not…

Measuring Development of Self-Help Organizations for Patients with Chronic Health Conditions in Hong Kong: Development and Validation of the Self-Help Organization Development Scale (SHODS)
Self-help organizations (SHOs) enable patients with chronic health conditions (PCHCs) to overcome common difficulties through the exchange of knowledge and mutual assistance, which serves as the basis for promoting the self-reliance and well-being of PCHCs. Nevertheless, practical challenges persist because little is known about what and how to evaluate for the developmental outcomes of SHOs. To address this knowledge gap, the present study seeks…
