Brief 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 I was to promote health, happiness, harmony (3Hs), healthy eating and physical activity in primary school students. Students watched interactive live drama in schools and were given DVD and worksheets. Students were encouraged to watch the DVD with other family members at home. This study was to evaluate the effectiveness of interactive live drama, DVD and worksheet.
