Multilevel Peer-to-Peer HPV Vaccination and Wellness Educational Program in School Based Health Centers

School-based health centers (SBHCs) are an important setting to improve health through detecting, managing and preventing chronic illness. Too few people are vaccinated for the human papillomavirus (HPV), which can prevent tens of thousands of deaths from cancer each year. PEER will evaluate a program to increase health and wellness and the use of SBHCs for primary and preventive care. If successful, PEER could significantly increase the use of SBHCs, and decrease HPV-associated cancers and, thus, reduce the burden of cancer in the United States.

Prevention Workshop to Address Bullying Behaviors in Schools

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.
