Brief Summary:
Study Title: Support Groups - a model for social inclusion and reduction of bullying in school Study Design: Cluster Randomized Controlled trial (CRCT) Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of a support group intervention using a solution-focused approach among school children in 5th-7th grade in southeastern Norway Intervention: Peer support groups with a solution-focused approach Study Population: School Children
Detailed Description:
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a support group intervention using a solution-focused approach in reducing bullying, enhancing mental health, improving quality of life, and increasing general self-efficacy among school children in 5th-7th grade. Investigators hypothesize that the awareness of bullying created by the intervention, and the empowerment of children as contributors to the solution, will generate positive ripple effects benefiting all children in the intervention schools. Furthermore, investigators hypothesize that children with a peer support group will exhibit lower levels of bullying, improved mental health, better quality of life, and increased general self-efficacy after the intervention compared to their baseline levels. Investigators expect these effects to persist even after 3 and 6 months. Aligned with the cluster RCT, the investigators will undertake a parallel process evaluation to assess the extent of the intervention coverage, whether the intervention was implemented according to the protocol, and identify factors that hinder or aid the implementation of a support group intervention. For the process evaluation, investigators will use the framework presented by the Medical Research Council guidelines focusing on the implementation (what is implemented and how), the mechanisms of impact (how the delivered intervention produces change), and the context (how the context affects implementation and outcomes).
