NCT ID NCT07357363
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test whether the REThink program can help students aged 10–18 who have experienced bullying or engage in bullying behavior. About 1,000 students from Romanian schools will be randomly assigned to either the REThink program or their usual school support. The program uses a game to teach emotion regulation and coping skills, and researchers will measure changes in bullying, mental health, stress, and self-compassion.
