Study Overview
Brief Summary
This project is expected to establish a network of resilient young people with good anti-drug knowledge to mobilize them to assist in current or future anti-drug work, expanding the antidrug capacity of our community. After the project, it is also anticipated that people in this network will continue to assist in the anti-drug work.
Detailed Description
In phase 1, the investigators will deliver adventure-based training programs (2-day 1-night camp). Participants will attend in the educational workshop and undergo five adventure-based activities. The key educational workshop's topics include: 1) introduction to the drugs, health and legal consequences of drugs especially cocaine, cannabis and ice, 2) anti-drug services, and 3) the AWARD model.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
BDF Question Set No. 26
Time Frame: Baseline and 2 days (pre and post intervention)
To assess permissive attitude towards drugs trafficking. Minimum score: 14 Maximum score: 70. Total scores calculate: Q1 + Q2 + (6-Q3) + Q4 + (6-Q5) + Q6 + (6-Q7) + (6-Q8) + Q9 + Q10 + (6-Q11) + Q12 + Q13.
The Chinese version of the 14-item resilience scale
Time Frame: Baseline and 2 days (pre and post intervention)
The 14-item resilience scale (RS-14) was used to assess the degree of resilience and was a short version of the original resilience scale (RS). The RS-14 was a 14-item and single-factor structure instrument, comprising a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree). Examples of the items were, "I feel that I can handle many things at a time" and "I keep interested in things". The Chinese translation of the RS-14 was developed with a backtranslation procedure to ensure accuracy. Suitable internal consistency was suggested by a figure of .917 for the coefficient alpha (regarding the RS-14 of the original scale). Further, the original RS-14 was retested after three weeks, and the test-retest reliability of RS-14 was .736 (.595, .837).
BDF Question Set No. 2
Time Frame: Baseline and 2 days (pre and post intervention)
