What this trial studies

This non-randomized study will compare an avatar-supported, teacher-student interactive vodcast intervention to a control condition in two public middle schools. Participants are 128 students (64 per group) recruited with parental consent and followed during the 2026 school term. Data will be collected using a demographics form and a bullying identification scale to assess changes in recognition, experiences, and empathy related to bullying. The intervention consists of structured vodcast sessions designed to engage students and foster peer-support strategies. The study is conducted under Selcuk University's auspices in Konya, with results informing peer bullying prevention approaches in school settings.
