Efficiency, Risk Factors, Bullying Prevention, Systematic ReviewsAbstract
The article discusses the effectiveness of bullying preven-tion programs with the aim of offering, especially to public administrators, a synthesis of the most recent international evidence on successful public policies in the area. The search was conducted on the ERIC, EPPI Center, International Initiative for Impact Evaluation, Campbell Collaboration, Elsevier and MEDLINE platforms and identified seven systematic reviews that met the inclusion criteria. We concluded that prevention programs designed based on diagnoses in the territory of the intervention, of long duration and universal coverage, tend to produce the best results. The training of teachers to handle content invol-ving risk factors for bullying also appears as a highlighted factor for the effects of prevention.
