• A 3-phase survey, training, and inter-disciplinary combined on-line/offline, theory-based and evidence-based intervention for prevention of psychoactive substance use among adolescents who are case-work clients of social workers (The My Sunny Way Project) (2024)

    Researcher: Prof Joseph Tak Fai Lau, the Chinese University of Hong Kong

    Background: Adolescent substance use has been a concern. Clients of social workers may be vulnerable to substance use.


    Aims: To understand factors of substance use behavior/intention in this group of adolescents.


    Method: An anonymous survey was conducted and a randomized controlled study was conducted following the survey.


    Results: The intervention group showed a significantly higher level of perceived behavioral control than the control group.


    Conclusion: It seems that we need to shift from treatment to early prevention among secondary school students, to provide them with resilience, stress reduction, and secondary interventions before they develop intention and behaviors related to psychoactive substance use.
