Student-Advocates Pre- and Post-Scale (SAPPS) Primary · Baseline assessment, 30-day assessment

An 11 item questionnaire measuring students' knowledge of buying, knowledge of the STAC-T strategies, and students' confidence to intervene in bullying situations. Items are rated on a 4-point Likert Scale ranging from 1 (Totally Disagree) to 4 (Totally Agree) and were summed to compute a total scale score. The minimum value is 11 and the maximum value is 44, and a higher score means a better outcome.

Sponsor's own description

School interventions to reduce bullying can be effective but also require substantial time and resources. Online technologies have the potential to deliver effective bullying interventions to a large number of middle school students for less cost. The feasibility of delivering the effective STAC bullying intervention through a mobile web app will be tested using focus groups with middle school students and development and usability testing and the efficacy of the program will be tested using a randomized controlled trial.
