Abstract

Most bullying prevention strategies are school-based. Many bullying prevention programs available to schools and communities are not evidence-based. In the past 6 years, several meta-analyses have been conducted, and data indicate that the efficacy of school-based bullying prevention programs have varied across countries and contexts. School-based violence prevention programs that facilitate social and emotional learning skills, address interpersonal conflict, and teach emotion management have shown promise in reducing youth violence, bullying, and disruptive behaviors in classrooms. Programs that have been well-studied include the Olweus Bully Prevention Program (OBPP), Peaceful Schools Project, KiVa National Anti-bullying Program in Finland, Steps to Respect: A Bullying Prevention Program, Second Step: Student Success Through Prevention program, the Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies (PATHS) program, and the Recognizing, Understanding, Labeling, Expressing, and Regulating (RULER) Approach.
