Project Summary Overview: The overarching goal of this project is to finalize the development of and conduct a pilot study for a novel intervention (i.e., Intervention for Victimized Youth (IVY)) to reduce distress and increase coping skills for targets of peer victimization. IVY is the first small group intervention program to specifically address the needs of targets of peer victimization from a trauma-informed perspective. It uses a cognitive behavioral therapy approach to address current distress and teaches strategies for handling future peer victimization. Significance of the Proposed Research: Despite the large amount of research on peer victimization, there is no intervention specifically designed for youth who are victimized by peers. Most programs focus on reducing and preventing peer victimization, not on what to do for those still being victimized. IVY is designed to fill this gap and provide practitioners with a curriculum for delivering a high-quality intervention for this group of youth that has been ignored. Innovation and Unique Features of the Proposed Research: Not only is IVY the first small group intervention program for victimized youth, but it is delivered in a virtual format. The benefit of virtual groups is that it allows youth from different schools to come together to discuss shared experiences without fear that what they say will be shared with peers at school or without worrying that a bully from their own school is in the group. IVY is also unique in that it is inspired by the empirical literature on trauma, which aligns with the emerging view that peer victimization is a potentially traumatic event. Specific Aims: (1) Develop IVY, a trauma-informed peer victimization intervention program, including a leader handbook, participant handbook, presentation slides, relevant activities and resources, fidelity checklist, and a caregiver module; and (2) Investigate the usability, fidelity, and effectiveness of IVY in a pilot study to assess the impact of the intervention components on immediate outcomes (i.e., distress, coping skills, knowledge of and self-efficacy for self- protection options), and distal outcomes (i.e., victimization, traumatic stress, social support). Research Design and Methods: The pilot study includes a quasi-experimental/pre-post intervention design with random assignment to an intervention group and a waitlist control group with a total of 50 middle school students. Changes in the proximal and distal outcome variables for the experimental and control conditions will be explored. A repeated measures MANCOVA will be used to assess changes in pre- and post- scores.

项目摘要 概述：该项目的首要目标是完成开发并进行 新干预的试点研究（即，受害青年干预方案），以减少 提高同伴受害目标的应对技能。常春藤是第一个小团体 干预方案，以具体解决从一个同伴受害的目标的需要， 创伤知情的观点。它使用认知行为治疗方法来解决 目前的困扰，并教导处理未来的同伴受害的策略。 建议研究的意义：尽管有大量的研究同行 没有专门为受害于以下行为的青年设计的干预措施： 同龄人大多数项目的重点是减少和防止同伴受害，而不是做什么， 那些仍然是受害者。IVY旨在填补这一空白，并为从业者提供 为这一被忽视的青少年群体提供高质量干预的课程。 创新与特色研究建议：不仅是常春藤第一小 小组干预方案的受害青年，但它是在一个虚拟的格式提供。造福 虚拟团体的一个重要特点是，它允许来自不同学校的年轻人聚在一起讨论共享的 不用担心他们所说的话会被学校的同龄人分享， 担心自己学校的恶霸在群里IVY的独特之处还在于它的灵感 关于创伤的经验文献，这与新出现的观点一致， 是一个潜在的创伤事件 具体目标：（1）发展IVY，一个创伤知情的同伴受害干预计划， 包括领导手册、参与者手册、演示幻灯片、相关活动和 资源，保真度检查表和护理人员模块;和（2）调查可用性，保真度， 在一项试点研究中评估IVY的有效性， 直接结果（即，苦恼、应对技能、对自我的认识和自我效能感 保护选项），和远端结果（即，受害、创伤压力、社会支持）。 研究设计和方法：试点研究包括一个准实验/前后 随机分配到干预组和候补对照组的干预设计 总共有50名中学生。近端和远端结局变量的变化 对实验条件和控制条件进行了探讨。重复测量MANCOVA 将被用来评估前后分数的变化。
