Project Description

Summary Bully-Proofing Your School (BPYS) was a school-based intervention program designed to reduce bullying and s chool violence. The BPYS program differed from other anti-bullying programs by providing teachers with a spe cific curriculum that could be implemented in the classroom. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the BP YS program at the elementary school and middle school level. The BPYS outcome evaluation consisted of scho ol climate surveys administered to elementary school students (Part 1), middle school students (Part 2), and st aff (Part 3) in both treatment and comparison schools. The design of the data collection for the study was a rep eated cross-sectional design. The evaluation of BPYS took place over five years. In the spring semesters of 200 2, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006, all participating schools completed a school climate survey. The researchers c ollected 4,136 completed elementary school surveys (Part 1), 1,627 completed middle school surveys (Part 2), a nd 1,209 completed staff surveys (Part 3). For the elementary and middle school students, the mode of data col lection was an in-class (group administration) anonymous self-completed survey. For the 1,209 staff surveys (P art 3), the mode of data collection was a mail questionnaire. Part 1 variables include sociodemographic and gen eral school information items, school climate variables, school safety variables, and home and family environm ent variables. Also included is a filter variable which can be used to select the 3,497 cases that were used in the original analyses. Part 2 variables include sociodemographic and general school information variables, school c limate variables, school safety variables, substance use variables, home and family environment variables, vari ables about guns, variables on activities the respondent participated in, and school attendance variables. Part 3 variables include school and staff characteristics variables, questions about general conditions in the school, qu estions on how the respondent felt about other people working at the school, questions concerning the resourc es and participation in the school and the community, and questions regarding staff perceptions of safety at th e school.
