Bullying is an internationally recognized problem and school-based bullying is particularly pervasive. KiVa is a robustly evidenced school-based antibullying programme developed and evaluated at Turku University, Finland, and subsequently disseminated across Finland. Following a positive UK trial of Unit 2 (for 10- to 12-year-olds), further UK dissemination has taken place. This study presents (a) pupil self-reported levels of victimization and bullying prior to, and after, one year of KiVa implementation (Units 1 and 2) with 7- to 11-year-olds from 41 schools, and (b) programme training and delivery costs. Data from 41 primary schools were analysed using a linear mixed model effects analysis. Results revealed statistically significant reductions in victimization and bullying after one year of programme implementation. Ongoing costs were small, at £2.84 per Key Stage 2 pupil per annum. These promising results highlight the need for further more rigorous evaluation of KiVa in the UK, including the exploration of factors associated with effective implementation, and the importance for educators and policy makers of evaluating both impact and costs when implementing programmes to prevent and reduce bullying.

将 KiVa 校本反欺凌计划引入英国：对有效性和计划成本的初步审查

欺凌是国际公认的问题，校园欺凌尤其普遍。KiVa 是芬兰图尔库大学开发和评估的一项有充分证据的基于学校的反欺凌计划，随后在芬兰各地传播。在英国对 Unit 2（针对 10 至 12 岁儿童）进行阳性试验后，进一步在英国进行了传播。本研究展示了 (a) 41 所学校的 7 至 11 岁儿童在实施 KiVa 一年之前和之后的自我报告的受害和欺凌程度（第 1 和第 2 单元），以及 (b)培训和交付成本。使用线性混合模型效应分析对来自 41 所小学的数据进行了分析。结果显示，在计划实施一年后，受害和欺凌在统计上显着减少。持续成本很小，每个关键阶段 2 学生每年 2.84 英镑。这些有希望的结果凸显了在英国对 KiVa 进行更严格评估的必要性，包括探索与有效实施相关的因素，以及教育者和政策制定者在实施预防和减少欺凌的计划时评估影响和成本的重要性。
