“…Other studies have found that online educational programs can help prevent student aggression. For example, Timmons‐Mitchell et al found that an online bullying education program led to lower bullying perpetration, victimization, and bystander passivity. Educating students about threat assessment includes them in the process and may motivate them to take action when they learn about a threat of violence.…”

BACKGROUND Threat assessment is a widely recommended practice used by schools to investigate and respond to student threats of violence; however, students are often reluctant to disclose threats. METHODS We developed an online educational program for students to increase their understanding of threat assessment and the need to report serious threats. We investigated 2 research questions: (1) How are student characteristics of sex, grade level, and ethnicity/race associated with student knowledge of threat assessment and willingness to report threats? (2) Does the program increase knowledge of threat assessment and willingness to report threats? The sample consisted of 2338 students from 6 middle schools and 3 high schools. RESULTS Prior to program completion, boys were less willing than girls, and older students were less willing than younger students, to report threats. Post‐program questions revealed that the program significantly increased knowledge and willingness to report threats across student groups, with effect sizes (Cohen's d) ranging from small (.30) to large (1.43). CONCLUSIONS This program promotes school safety by teaching students about threat assessment and increasing willingness to report threats. The program is available online for other schools to use.

“…As research on the prevention of childhood maltreatment and bullying/victimization moves forward, it is recommended that researchers incorporate suicide-related outcomes in their studies [15]. There is currently much research activity in this area, and bullying prevention programs currently under development are incorporating online education with tailoring to youths’ bullying experiences [16] and text-messaging-based information, practice, and encouragement [17].…”

A comprehensive public health strategy for adolescent suicide prevention includes upstream prevention strategies, strategies for risk recognition, and services for those at risk. Interpersonal trauma and substance use are important prevention targets as each is associated with risk for suicide attempts. Multiple prevention programs target these factors; however, the Family Check-Up, designed to reduce substance use and behavioral problems, also has been associated with reduced suicide risk. Several youth screening instruments have shown utility, and a large-scale trial is underway to develop a computerized adaptive screen. Similarly, several types of psychotherapy have shown promise, and sufficiently powered studies are underway to provide more definitive results. The climbing youth suicide rate warrants an urgent, concerted effort to develop and implement effective prevention strategies.

“…Credibility is revealed by a confidence in the truth, on behalf of the researcher, and on the findings based on the research design, participants, and context (Moon, Brewer, Januchowski-Hartley, Adams, & Blackman, 2016).). A pilot test provides preliminary data on the efficacy of data (Timmons-Mitchell, Levesque, Harris, Flannery, & Falcone, 2016). Random samples of participants allow the researcher to describe the experiences of implementation as credible resources (Palinkas et al, 2015).…”
