Evaluating the Role of Parenting in Bullying Prevention The aim of this evaluation study is to examine possible moderating effects of adolescent perceived parenting on the effectiveness of the Be SAFE, Affirming, and Fair Environments (Be SAFE) bullying prevention curriculum. Using family systems theory, this evaluation focuses on the influence of parenting on the change in adolescent bullying attitudes and behaviors after completing an adapted version of the Be SAFE bullying prevention curriculum. Findings show that on average adolescents reported engaging in more bullying behaviors after participating in the Be SAFE program, and adolescents who perceived their parents to be permissive reported significantly greater increases in bullying behaviors than adolescents who perceived their parents to be authoritarian and authoritative.

Modifying for Success: Designing a Bullying Prevention Program Evaluation within the context of Extension Implementing school-based programs can prove to be a difficult task, particularly when the programs are facilitated by outside organizations, like Extension. As an outside entity, leaders of these programs must strategize to overcome obstacles related to the evaluation and implementation of the program. While implementing and evaluating an Extension initiated school-based bullying program throughout Alabama middle schools, the challenges faced throughout the process helped to restructure parts of the program design and evaluation. This poster will discuss the complications faced while implementing and evaluating this school-based bullying prevention program. Changes were made to the program based on an evaluation of program feasibility, feedback, and outcomes.
