ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of a special training program based on motivational interviewing to help reduce bullying, social exclusion, and aggressive behavior among middle school students. The goal is to understand how this type of education can support students aged 12 to 13, particularly those who are experiencing difficulties with peer interactions. By identifying these issues early, the researchers hope to provide solutions that can also help students succeed academically and socially.

To participate in this study, children must be in the 6th or 7th grade, show signs of experiencing peer bullying, and be willing to take part with their parents' consent. Students will engage in activities aimed at improving their social skills and reducing negative behaviors. Importantly, this trial is not yet recruiting participants, but once it begins, it could lead to supportive programs in other schools if successful.
