PROTOCOL: Effectiveness of Programs to Prevent School Bullying (original) (raw)

This protocol outlines a systematic review of programs aimed at preventing school bullying. It defines bullying, distinguishing it from aggression and violence, and highlights the prevalence of the issue across various countries. The paper will evaluate existing anti-bullying programs, their methodologies, and effectiveness in reducing bullying incidents, while analyzing the theoretical foundations behind these interventions. A focus will be placed on empirical support for these programs, the measures used in assessing their impact, and the importance of understanding cultural variations in the definition of bullying.
