Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pupil-level self-reported rate of bullying victimisation assessed using the Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire (OBVQ) at baseline and 12 months. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. The proportion of pupil self-reported bullying perpetration assessed using the OBVQ at baseline and 12 months 2. Cost effectiveness ratio. Cost per incidence of bullying avoided using KiVa compared to Usual Practice (UP) will involve fully costing the implementation of the KiVa programme and assessing pupil-level self-reported bullying incidence using the OBVQ at baseline and 12 months. Wider cost consequence analysis will involve fully costing the implementation of the KiVa programme and assessing child reported quality of life using the Child Health Utility 9D (CHU-9D) at baseline and 12 months, and frequency of child and/or parental contacts with the school and/or other services regarding bullying using the bespoke Client Receipt Service Inventory (CRSI) completed by parents at 12 months. 3. Teacher-reported pupil behavioural, hyperactive/inattentive, emotional, and peer problems and pro-social strengths will be assessed using the Teacher Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (TSDQ) at baseline and 12 months 4. Teacher self-efficacy in dealing with bullying incidents will be assessed using a modified version of the Challenging Behaviour Self-Efficacy Scale (CBSES) at baseline and 12 months 5. Teacher mental wellbeing will be assessed using the Warwick Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWS) at baseline and 12 months 6. Teacher burnout will be assessed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory - Educator Scale (MBI-ES) at baseline and 12 months 7. Subjective pupil wellbeing at school will be assessed using the How I Feel About My School (HIFAMS) questionnaire at baseline and 12 months 8. Pupil empathy will be assessed using the Empathy Toward Victim Scale at baseline and 12 months 9.
