DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Bullying is a continuum of destructive behavior, which can lead to depression, anxiety, and the third largest cause of teen mortality in the United States-suicide. In all its forms, bullying affects millions of young people in the U.S. every year (Nansel et al. 2001, Tokunaga 2010), yet prevention efforts have had little impact because they have not recognized the fluidity and complexity of bullying, nor have their messages or delivery platforms resonated with teens (Cook et al. 2010). In addition, as recognized by the White House Conference on Bullying Prevention held in March 2011, few existing programs have been rigorously evaluated and many cost too much to implement in the majority of schools and youth-serving organizations. The Teen-created Online Tolerance and Anti-bullying Library (TOTAL) project will contain bullying prevention programming and resources that are based on a systematic, comprehensive approach incorporating the latest evidence and best practices on bullying prevention and young people's input and involvement. TOTAL will gather into one multimedia resource, a collection of easy-to-use, customizable evidence-based prevention programs, best practices and promising strategies, teen-created bullying prevention activities and content and training materials regarding program adaptation and sustainability. TOTAL will allow teachers and other professionals to implement bullying prevention efforts through three components which will contain: (1) evidence-based modular curricula and teaching lessons for use either as a complete program or as a selected series of modules identified by a sophisticated search tool and curriculum builder to customize content to specific programmatic needs; (2) activities co-created by teens to engage their peers in bullying prevention efforts ranging from public service campaigns or drives, to social media and mobile interfacing exercises or activities; and (3) training modules and tools to enhance teachers' and professionals' skill sets and self-efficacy to refresh, enrich, customize and ultimately, sustain their prevention efforts with their students/clients. Content selection by experts and usability testing by teachers and other youth-serving professionals will result in a product reflecting the contribution of teens and researchers, as well as the recommendations of practitioners. The proposed SBIR Phase I project will investigate the feasibility and usefulness of developing a multimedia library of customizable bullying prevention program modules and youth-created complementary activities for use in schools and other youth-serving organizations. At the conclusion of Phase 1, the following will be accomplished: (1) a prototype of TOTAL's digital platform including its three identified components; (2) three functional prototypes representative of the digital library's core components; (3) a functioning semantic search tool to collate and customize content within a curriculum builder, thus improving the match between the users' programmatic needs and the identification of resources within the library; (4) usability test results; and (5) an action plan for Phase II. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: By developing a resource for schools and youth-serving organizations that supports bullying prevention programming, TOTAL (Teen-created Tolerance and Anti-bullying Library) will increase the relevance and reach of existing effective anti-bullying programs or practices and test new promising strategies developed by teens, leading to sustained behavior change at both the individual and aggregate levels. TOTAL integrates scientific evidence, best practice, and technology with a focus on prevention rather than intervention and teens' active participation in the development of prevention efforts.

描述（由申请人提供）：欺凌是一种连续的破坏性行为，它可以导致抑郁，焦虑和第三大原因青少年死亡率在美国自杀。在所有形式中，欺凌每年都会影响美国数百万年轻人（Nansel et al. 2001，Tokunaga 2010），但预防工作几乎没有影响，因为他们没有认识到欺凌的流动性和复杂性，他们的信息或传递平台也没有引起青少年的共鸣（Cook et al. 2010）。此外，正如2011年3月举行的白宫防止欺凌会议所承认的那样，现有的方案很少得到严格的评估，而且在大多数学校和青年服务组织中实施许多方案的成本太高。青少年创建的在线容忍和反欺凌图书馆（TOTAL）项目将包含欺凌预防方案和资源，这些方案和资源基于系统、全面的方法，纳入了关于欺凌预防的最新证据和最佳做法以及年轻人的投入和参与。TOTAL将汇集一个多媒体资源，一系列易于使用，可定制的循证预防计划，最佳实践和有前途的战略，青少年创建的欺凌预防活动以及有关计划适应和可持续性的内容和培训材料。TOTAL将允许教师和其他专业人员通过三个组成部分实施欺凌预防工作，其中包括：（1）以证据为基础的模块课程和教学课程，可作为一个完整的计划或作为一个复杂的搜索工具和课程构建器确定的一系列模块，以定制内容来满足特定的计划需求;（2）由青少年共同创建的活动，以使他们的同龄人参与预防欺凌的工作，从公共服务活动或驱动器，到社交媒体和移动的接口练习或活动;以及（3）培训模块和工具，以提高教师和专业人员的技能和自我效能，更新、丰富、定制并最终与学生/客户保持预防工作。由专家进行内容选择，由教师和其他为青年服务的专业人员进行可用性测试，将产生一个反映青少年和研究人员的贡献以及从业人员建议的产品。拟议的SBIR第一阶段项目将调查开发一个可定制的欺凌预防计划模块和青年创建的补充活动，在学校和其他青年服务组织使用的多媒体图书馆的可行性和实用性。在第一阶段结束时，将完成以下工作：（1）TOTAL数字平台的原型，包括其三个确定的组成部分;（2）代表数字图书馆核心组成部分的三个功能原型;（3）在课程构建器内整理和定制内容的功能语义搜索工具，从而改进用户的程序需要与图书馆内资源的识别之间的匹配;（4）可用性测试结果;以及（5）第二阶段的行动计划。 公共卫生相关性：通过为学校和青少年服务组织开发支持欺凌预防计划的资源，TOTAL（青少年创建的宽容和反欺凌图书馆）将增加现有有效反欺凌计划或实践的相关性和影响力，并测试新的有前途的策略青少年开发的策略，导致个人和总体层面的持续行为改变。TOTAL将科学证据、最佳做法和技术结合起来，重点是预防而不是干预，以及青少年积极参与预防工作的发展。
