Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
* Fitness assessment (enjoyment) and in-door games, which will be designed, supervised and supported by experienced social workers;
* Short interactive talk on SME, positive thinking and understanding of adolescent mental health problem (in particular the anxiety disorders) and mental well-being;
* Issue achievement / improvement stickers to students, and attractive prizes to the 10 fittest students by chairperson / members of Parent-Teacher Association (sharing);
* Provide physical activity diary after 1st session of adventure day, and invite family members / peers to join the competition at the 2nd session.
The major subjects of Joyful Adventure Day Pilot Project RCT study are 200-300 students. 3 schools will be included in the evaluation. The classes in the same school will either be assigned into intervention group or waitlist control group (the intervention won't be provided during evaluation period and will be provided after the evaluation period.).
There will then be 4 assessments (pre-intervention, immediate post intervention, one month and three months after baseline) to evaluate the effects of the intervention programme. In the assessments, students will be asked to complete questionnaires to measure the changes in fitness enjoyment, physical activity frequency, happiness, well-being and knowledge and attitude towards mental health. The satisfaction towards the intervention, as well as the level of participation and ratings for the intervention will be evaluated.
