“…Of the additional 8 studies, 7 revealed positive outcomes. 25,[37][38][39][40]42,43 Five of these studies 25,37,38,40,43 reported decreases in bullying or victimization. Among kindergarteners, Alsaker and Valkanover 25 found decreased victimization on teacher and student reports, although there was no significant change in bullying on either student nominations or teacher ratings.…”

“…Not surprisingly, the vast majority of programs evaluated for the primary prevention of SV to date have focused primarily on the individual, 12 with a few strategies in the recent evaluation literature aimed at changing norms or behaviors at the peer group level of the social ecology. [13][14][15] In contrast, we identified only a few prevention approaches in our review that included communitylevel components, such as schoolwide poster campaigns 16 or providing training for school staff or community service providers, 17,18 and none evaluating programs, strategies, or policies directed solely at the community level. Strategies that target the societal level of the social ecology are also infrequently discussed in the SV prevention literature, with almost none of these strategies systematically evaluated; our review identified only one evaluation that examined the effects of funding provided by the Violence Against Women Act on violent crime, including rape.…”

The Division of Violence Prevention within CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control recently undertook a systematic review of primary prevention strategies for sexual violence (SV) perpetration. This review identified the lack of community-level strategies to prevent SV as a critical gap in the literature. Community-level strategies function by modifying the characteristics of settings (e.g., schools, workplaces, neighborhoods) that increase the risk for violence victimization and perpetration. Identification of evidence-based strategies at the community level would allow implementation of ecologic approaches to SV prevention with a greater potential for reducing the prevalence of SV perpetration. The field will face several challenges in identifying and evaluating the effectiveness of promising community-level strategies to prevent SV. These challenges include limited knowledge of community-level and societal-level risk factors for SV, a lack of theoretical or empirical guidance in the SV literature for identification of promising community-level approaches, and challenges in evaluating SV outcomes at the community level. Recognition of these challenges should guide future research and foster dialogue within the SV prevention field. The development and evaluation of community-level approaches to SV prevention represent a vital and logical next step toward the implementation of effective, multilevel prevention efforts and a population-level reduction in the prevalence of SV.

“…In addition, five studies (Bauer et al, 2007; Bowllan, 2011; Kärnä, Voeten, Little, Poskiparta, Alanen, et al, 2011; Sanchez et al, 2001; Stan & Beldean, 2014) included variables beyond bullying, such as school climate, student well‐being, and sexual harassment. Moreover, one study (Cross, Lester, Pearce, Barnes, & Beatty, 2016) focused exclusively on assessing the effects of bullying intervention on parents, including aspects such as parents’ discussion of bullying with their children and respective behavior toward bullying episodes.…”

A systematic literature review on whole-school antibullying interventions was conducted. Twelve databases were consulted, considering as inclusion criteria: scientific article, published between 1998 and June 2018, in English or Portuguese, describing empirical studies on whole-school antibullying interventions. Seventeen studies were analyzed, indicating that the interventions had the reduction of bullying prevalence as main goal, and secondary goals as improvements in reporting bullying occurrences, bullying identification, and attitudes toward bullying. Six interventions had experimental designs, five were quasiexperimental, and six were preexperimental. Data collection in 14 studies involved exclusively students, in two studies measurements also encompassed teachers, and one study applied questionnaires to parents only. Intervention effects on bullying prevalence were inconsistent, with eight studies finding significant decreases in bullying involvement, while seven studies did not show significant effects on bullying prevalence or found negative results, such as an increase of its prevalence. However, the interventions had significant positive effects on increasing the reporting of bullying occurrences, attitudes toward bullying, and perceived peer and teacher intervention. Thus, whole-school antibullying interventions, incorporating multiple strategies and targeting multiple individuals, should be encouraged to address the complexity of bullying.
