项目摘要

ABSTRACT An Evidence-Based Serious Game Approach for Bullying Prevention Administrative Supplement Bullying, in its most familiar form, is a serious public health concern. This is especially true during the middle-school years, a transition period when bullying increases. Cyberbullying, an electronic evolution of face-to-face bullying, is willful and repeated harm inflicted through computers, cell phones and other electronic devices to threaten, harass, embarrass, or socially exclude another. Both victims and offenders of bullying and cyberbullying are more likely to have low self-esteem, suicidal ideation, depression, substance use, and lower academic achievement. In this project, National Health Promotion Associates (NHPA) developed a bullying and cyberbullying prevention intervention for middle school students, including interactive classroom sessions and corresponding serious games, based on the evidence-based substance abuse prevention approach called Life Skills Training (LST). The LST prevention model teaches youth personal self-management skills, social skills, drug refusal skills, and other life skills needed to successfully navigate developmental tasks, increase resilience, and facilitate healthy psychosocial development. The LST program has been extensively tested and found to effectively prevent substance use in a series of randomized controlled trials (RCT) with behavioral effects reported in over 30 peer-reviewed publications. In the present study, we have developed the intervention materials and are now conducting a rigorous randomized controlled trial with 24 middle/junior high schools that have been assigned to either the LST prevention program alone or LST with the newly developed bullying/cyberbullying materials. The outcome evaluation assesses changes in behaviors, norms, attitudes, and knowledge for bullying/cyberbullying and concurrent alcohol, tobacco, and other drug (ATOD) abuse between the two experimental conditions. To examine the impact of the intervention, survey data are being collected immediately before and after its implementation and at 12- and 24-month follow-up assessments. We are also conducting a process evaluation to document dosage, fidelity implementation, and school/community events. In March of 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic spread across the United States and had a disruptive impact on this research, especially the activities conducted in schools. Schools throughout the country, including those participating in our randomized controlled trial, were closed by state and/or local officials. These abrupt closures had a severe impact on the trial fieldwork. All field activities, including intervention implementation and data collection, had to be halted. In addition, NHPA’s office (located in White Plains, New York) and all businesses not designated as “essential” were closed by an executive order of the NYS governor. Where possible, employees were instructed to establish at-home workstations and work from home. The proposed administrative supplement is requested to address the significant and adverse disruption to the trial based on the Covid-19 school closures that abruptly stopped: 1) intervention implementation; 2) survey data collection; and 3) process data collection.

抽象的预防欺凌的循证严肃游戏方法行政补充最常见的欺凌行为是一个严重的公共卫生问题，这一点尤其如此。中学时期是网络欺凌现象增多的过渡时期。面对面欺凌的电子演变，是通过以下方式造成的故意和重复伤害电脑、手机和其他电子设备进行威胁、骚扰、羞辱或社交欺凌和网络欺凌的受害者和犯罪者都更有可能患有此类疾病。自卑、自杀意念、抑郁、药物滥用和学业成绩较低。在该项目中，国家健康促进协会 (NHPA) 制定了一项欺凌和中学生网络欺凌预防干预，包括互动课堂基于循证药物滥用的课程和相应的严肃游戏称为生活技能培训 (LST) 的预防方法 LST 预防模型向青少年传授知识。个人自我管理技能、社交技能、拒绝毒品技能以及其他生活技能成功地完成发展任务，增强复原力并促进健康 LST 计划已经过广泛测试并被发现有效。在一系列具有行为影响的随机对照试验 (RCT) 中防止物质使用在 30 多个同行评审出版物中进行了报道。干预材料，目前正在对 24 名患者进行严格的随机对照试验已指定单独进行 LST 预防计划的初中/初中或 LST 使用新开发的欺凌/网络欺凌材料进行结果评估。评估欺凌/网络欺凌行为、规范、态度和知识的变化，以及两个实验之间同时滥用酒精、烟草和其他药物（ATOD）为了检查干预措施的影响，正在立即收集调查数据。我们还在实施之前和之后以及 12 个月和 24 个月的后续评估。进行过程评估以记录剂量、保真度实施和学校/社区活动。 2020 年 3 月，Covid-19 大流行在美国蔓延，并造成了对这项研究，特别是在学校进行的活动产生了破坏性影响。全国各地，包括那些参加我们的随机对照试验的人，州和/或地方官员关闭这些突然的关闭对审判产生了严重影响。所有实地活动，包括干预措施的实施和数据收集，都必须进行。此外，NHPA 办公室（位于纽约州怀特普莱恩斯）和所有企业均已停止营业。被指定为“必要”的项目已被纽约州州长的行政命令关闭。如果可能的话，员工被指示建立家庭工作站并在家工作。要求提出行政补充，以解决重大和不利的问题由于 Covid-19 学校停课突然停止而对试验造成干扰：1) 干预实施；2) 调查数据收集；以及 3) 过程数据收集。
