Overview
Brief Summary
Given the limited impact of existing school-based interventions and the time associated with implementing them during school time, more efficient and effective intervention methods are needed. Programs that can be delivered to middle school youth irrespective of whether they are attending school physically or virtually may be especially relevant as school boundaries become more fluid. BullyDown addresses this critical need by providing a scalable program that could be quickly and cost-effectively disseminated nationally.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Feasibility: Recruitment Rate
Time Frame: Recruitment period
If at least 75% of eligible participants assent to participate, this will be supportive of a hypothesis of feasibility. Note that a youth could assent and not be randomized if they did not complete the baseline survey.
Acceptability of the Intervention
Time Frame: Intervention end, 9 weeks after program enrollment
Youth were asked: "How likely are you to recommend BullyDown to other people your age?" Answers were collected on a 5-point Likert scale. The response option ranged from 1-5, with higher values reflecting greater acceptability. An average score of 4 or higher was deemed supportive of program acceptability.
Feasibility: Retention at 3-month Follow-up
Time Frame: 21 weeks post-randomization, 3 months after the 9-week program ended
A retention rate of 80% or higher was deemed to be supportive of a hypothesis of feasibility
Secondary Outcomes
- Feasibility: Retention Rate at Program End(9 weeks post-randomization)
