We used a discrete choice conjoint experiment to model the anti-bullying (AB) program preferences of 1080 junior kindergarten to Grade 8 educators. Participants chose between hypothetical AB programs that varied combinations of 12 design attributes. Multi-level latent class analysis yielded three classes: - (21.

Article Synopsis
  • - Educators often miss many bullying incidents, and students are generally hesitant to step in, leading researchers to study how different antibullying (AB) program attributes affect their willingness to intervene.
  • - A survey of over 2,000 middle school students identified six different attitudes toward AB programs, with some students favoring intensive, daily interventions, while others preferred minimal, less frequent activities.
  • - The study found that students are more likely to intervene in bullying situations when their peers join in, teachers act quickly, and isolated classmates are included, suggesting that program design must balance differing student motivations and behaviors.

The availability of knowledge translation strategies that have been empirically studied and proven useful is a critical prerequisite to narrowing the research-to-practice gap in child and youth mental health. Through this review the authors sought to determine the current state of scientific knowledge of the effectiveness of knowledge translation approaches in child and youth mental health by conducting a systematic review of the research evidence. The findings and quality of the 12 included studies are discussed.

We used discrete choice conjoint analysis to model the ways 645 children's mental health (CMH) professionals preferred to provide information to parents seeking CMH services. Participants completed 20 choice tasks presenting experimentally varied combinations of the study's 14 4-level CMH information transfer attributes. Latent class analysis revealed three segments.

Although materials informing parents about children's mental health (CMH) problems can improve outcomes, we know relatively little about the design factors that might influence their utilization of available resources. We used a discrete choice conjoint experiment to model the information preferences of parents seeking mental health services for 6 to 18 year olds. Parents completed 30 choice tasks presenting experimentally varied combinations of 20 four-level CMH information content, transfer process, and outcome attributes.
