Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate an adapted version of the radKIDS Personal Empowerment and Safety Education Program in randomly assigned 4th grade classrooms
The primary hypothesis is that students in the radKIDS study arm will have significantly higher growth in safety knowledge safety skill self-efficacy confidence in help-seeking and in maintaining personal safety and self-esteem compared to classrooms in the business as usual condition
At the student level researchers will compare 4th grade students in classrooms randomized to receive the radKIDS program to those in classrooms receiving their regular instruction
Student participants will complete two surveys a few months apart assessing safety knowledge self-efficacy and self-esteem In the radKIDS20 arm students will receive the radKIDS program between the two surveys In the control arm students will receive instruction as usual

Detailed Description:
Child victimization and injury continue to be major public health challenges jeopardizing the healthy development of millions of American children every day Child victimization by peers is linked to poorer mental health in later childhood and adolescence impacting school outcomes due to higher absenteeism reduced classroom attentiveness increased school drop-out and greater risk for substance abuse delinquency and violent behavior Most successful bullying prevention programs do not align with nationally recommended safety guidelines deemed essential for effectively protecting children from victimization and violence The radKIDS Personal Empowerment and Safety Education Program is a school-based program developed in response to these national recommendations radKIDS uses activity-based skill training to help elementary aged children develop personal safety boundaries critical thinking skills for responding to threats of danger age-appropriate coping strategies for dealing with current and past victimization self-assertiveness and physical skills for self-defense communication skills for reporting incidences to parentsadults and increasing child self-worth-the programs cornerstone for personal safety and healthy development for elementary students To effectively bring the radKIDS program to more schools across the country the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities funded this study to adapt the radKIDS instructor training and student instruction into a blended onlinein-person instructor training and instructional delivery system To evaluate this new instructor training model the investigators are inviting 40 schools to participate in a randomized trial with one 4th grade classroom per school participating in the study Participating classrooms will be randomly assigned with half of the classrooms getting the radKIDS program and half in the control condition receiving instruction as usual All participating students will complete two surveys a few months apart assessing growth in knowledge safety skill self-efficacy confidence in help-seeking and in maintaining personal safety and self-esteem For schools receiving the program instructors will be trained with the newly adapted curriculum and will rate the usability and acceptability of the program If the modified program is effective and practical for use in schools wide-spread implementation of radKIDS could have a large impact on public health by decreasing incidents and risks of victimization and reducing child trauma due to preventable violence abuse and injury
