Description

This is a school program to prevent bullying among teenage students. The aim is to reduce the perpetration of bullying and cyberbullying.
The program involves three modules:
1) Information, which presents risk and protective factors;
2) Awareness, which addresses the consequences of bullying and encourages cognitive behavioral changes and empathy; and
3) Engagement, which guides students on how to prevent and intervene in situations of violence, whether at school or in virtual environments.

Impact evaluations

An impact assessment showed a statistically significant decrease in cases of bullying, victimization, and cyberbullying in the treatment group compared to the control group, which did not receive the intervention [1].
