About this study

The purpose of this study is to Adapt the existing iCHAMPSS's tools to support school policies related to the adoption, implementation, and maintenance of effective youth bullying and dating violence prevention programs (iCHAMPS-YVP), to assess the usability (acceptability, ease of use, credibility, motivational appeal, and perceived helpfulness) of iCHAMPS-YVP in schools and to assess the feasibility of iCHAMPS-YVP with school staff to impact individual- (e.g.,knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy of school staff) and district-level (e.g., policy, readiness, and support) determinants of the adoption and implementation of effective youth violence prevention programs.
