Online and school-based programs to prevent cyberbullying among Italian adolescents: What works, why, and under which circumstances

NoTrap! (Noncadiamointrappola!, which means “Let's not fall into the trap!”) is an Italian online school-based universal intervention for bullying and cyberbullying. It is designed for adolescents attending 7th–10th grades. It is a peer-led program, in which adolescents are, at the same time, the target and the agents of the intervention. The NoTrap! program development was started in 2008, and version by version, thanks to the findings of scientific evaluation, it has been improved in order to enhance its level of efficacy. This revision process led to the third edition (school year: 2011/2012) that is the final official version of NoTrap! program (Menesini, Palladino, & Nocentini, 2016) now implemented as an evidence-based intervention. The chapter describes the program and the main findings in terms of effectivenss evaluation.
