Summary
This study tests whether a program called PRAISE, led by school staff, can reduce bullying and aggression in 3rd-5th graders. Over 1,000 students will participate. The program teaches social and emotional skills to help kids handle peer conflicts without aggression. Researchers will measure changes in aggression, victimization, and bystander behavior.

What this could lead to
