Prevention Workshop to Address Bullying Behaviors in Schools
Sponsor: University Hospital, Grenoble
Summary
This study, titled APACHES, is a cluster randomized controlled trial aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of a school-based prevention program, "Tous Épanouis à l'École" (TEAL), conducted by healthcare students as part of their mandatory public health service curriculum. The TEAL program consists of five interactive sessions focused on developing psychosocial skills (e.g., communication, empathy, collaboration) among elementary school students (grades CE2-CM1-CM2) in the Grenoble Academy. The primary objective is to assess whether the program reduces the prevalence of bullying behaviors (victims and/or aggressors) compared to standard preventive actions on unrelated themes. The study involves 36 classrooms across 18 schools, with data collected at three time points: before, one month after, and four months after the intervention. Secondary objectives include evaluating social proximity, altruistic behaviors, and qualitative perceptions from students, teachers, and facilitators.

Tous Épanouis à l'École (TEAL Program)
The TEAL Program is a structured, five-session behavioral intervention targeting psychosocial skill development in children. Delivered by healthcare students in elementary school classrooms, the program includes interactive activities designed to improve communication, empathy, social proximity, and prosocial behaviors. The intervention aims to reduce bullying behaviors (victims and aggressors) and enhance classroom climate. Each session is guided by a detailed manual and includes active participation from students and their teachers.
Standard Health Education Sessions
This intervention consists of five sessions on general health topics unrelated to bullying, such as nutrition, sleep hygiene, and physical activity. The sessions are facilitated by healthcare students as part of their Service Sanitaire training. These sessions provide a comparable structure and duration to the TEAL program but do not address bullying prevention.
