Clinical Psychology evidence-based programs evaluation program implementation bullying prevention The negative consequences of bullying on a student’s mental and physical health have been documented in the literature as has the link between bullying, mental/physical health and academic outcomes. The Olweus Bullying Prevention Program (OBPP) is an evidence-based violence prevention program aimed at reducing bullying and increasing school climate. There are many health and mental health related problems facing our youth today. There are also good, evidence-based programs to address these problems; however, these evidence-based programs are not being implemented with fidelity and therefore not achieving the optimal outcomes. Research has shown that the OBPP has produced significant reductions in bullying when it is implemented with fidelity and much research has looked at the frequency and consequences of bullying on the mental health and well-being of children. The current study steps back one level from this research and focuses on how we can improve the implementation quality of evidence-based programs to ensure that we can benefit the most from those programs. Evidence-based programs aimed at the promotion of the well-being of youth are only as effective as how well they are implemented. This study explored the reliability, validity and utility of the Implementation Monitoring Tool for assessing implementation of the OBPP. Results indicate acceptable reliability and validity of the IMT as well as support the potential utility of the IMT to schools. Significant difficulties recruiting participants in this study highlighted an important concern regarding participation and accountability on the part of those implementing evidence-based programs as well as the trainers and training directors of the program. 2011-07-29 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1311774832 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1311774832 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
