Family Drama Project II

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

A harmonious family relationship has significant effects on the psychological well-being and development of children. Good communication between parents and children is a crucial element for family health, happiness and harmony. However, communication within Hong Kong families is vastly inadequate partly due to our busy urban lifestyle.

The 3Hs Family Drama Project (Phase 2) was an enhanced version of the 3Hs Family Drama Project to promote health, happiness, harmony (3Hs), healthy eating and physical activity in primary school students. Students watched the interactive live drama (long or short version) and are given DVD and worksheets. Students were encouraged to watch the DVD with other family members at home. The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and satisfaction levels of teachers, parents and students towards the drama project.

Clinical Trial Description

3Hs Family Drama Project (Phase 2) was an intervention to enhance the 3Hs through increasing interaction and communication between parents and children. Healthy eating and physical activity were also promoted. The drama project conducted 100 drama performances (either in the long or short version) in primary schools during the 2015-16 school year. The main targets were Primary 3 to 5 (P3-5) students and their families. Students would take home a DVD of the drama to watch and worksheets to complete with parents and other family members.

The goals of the study were to evaluate the effectiveness of the project to enhance health, happiness, harmony (3Hs), healthy eating and physical activity and participants' satisfaction levels towards the drama project.

Quantitative assessments were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the project. Process evaluations were performed in randomly selected students, parents and teachers to evaluate the process of each component of the program. Qualitative and quantitative assessments were used. Students, parents and teachers were asked to express their views on a questionnaire. Feedback from students was also collected through small group discussions, while that of parents was collected through telephone interviews. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
