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 (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.
