| BDF Question Set No. 18 | Baseline and 2 days (pre and post intervention) | To assess permissive attitude towards drug abuse (Secondary school student version). Minimum score: 21 Maximum score: 105. Total scores calculate: Q1 + Q2 + Q3 + Q4 + Q5 + Q6 + Q7 + Q8 + Q9 + Q10 + Q11 + Q12 + Q13 + Q14 + Q15 + Q16 + Q17 + Q18 + Q19 + Q20 + Q21. |

| The Chinese version of the 14-item resilience scale | 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). |
