Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
To evaluate the effectiveness of Be-Prox Norway to prevent and handle negative behavior and bullying among peers in Norwegian kindergartens.
To examine implementation factors that promote and inhibit the effectiveness of Be-Prox Norway in Norwegian kindergartens.
To describe the cost-effectiveness of the Be-Prox Norway intervention in Norwegian kindergartens.
To generate knowledge on how the Be-Prox Norway intervention can be aligned and implemented in Norwegian kindergartens.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Currently there are few evidence-based interventions directly targeting bullying among kindergarten peers. Be-Prox, developed for Swiss kindergartens to prevent, uncover and handle negative behavior and bullying in kindergartens have been translated and adjusted to a Norwegian context in a previous pilot study.
The current project is a close collaboration between two Norwegian municipalities, regional centres for child and youth mental health and welfare, and research and educational institutions.
The project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Be-Prox Norway in a cluster randomized controlled trial, including process and implementation evaluation and cost-effectiveness analyses. Hence the project complies with the current call through introducing research on tools, systems and models that promote evidence-based practices in Norwegian kindergartens in general, and to prevent negative acts and bullying between kindergarten peers in particular.
If proven effective, Be-Prox Norway can be offered to kindergartens nationwide as evidence-based practice to prevent, uncover and handle negative behavior and bullying among Norwegian kindergarten peers.
