BullyDown, a Text Messaging-based Bullying Prevention Program for Middle School-aged Youth
- Conditions
- Bullying
- Registration Number
- NCT06017050
- Lead Sponsor
- Center for Innovative Public Health Research
- 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.
