Abstract Background: In 2009, the Communities That Care (CTC) approach, widely implemented worldwide, was introduced in Germany across five municipalities. Since then, an increasing number of German municipalities have adopted CTC. While approach has shown effectiveness internationally, its not yet been evaluated. The CTC community change model posits that fostering a science-based prevention (adoption), sectorial collaboration (SC), and (PC) leads to increased implementation reach evidence-based programs. Over time, this aims achieve measurable reductions youth problem behaviors. This paper examines early effects on adoption, SC, PC. Methods: Analyses were conducted using longitudinal data from Community Key Informant (CKI) survey administered 2021 (baseline) 2023 (post-intervention).

To describe age and gender specific time trends in adolescent violence across 19 countries over 28 years. The paper presents analysis of eight cycles the Health Behaviour School-aged Children (HBSC) Study from 1994-2022, involving 789,531 children aged 11, 13, 15. Indicators included physical fighting, school bullying cyberbullying (from 2018). Log-binomial regression models were used to test for linear temporal trends, with Generalized Estimating Equations account clustering by country. School perpetration victimization declined each age/gender group most countries. Similar declines reported frequent fighting among boys (all ages) girls (age 15 only). prevalence violent behaviour was almost universally higher early than girls, but this difference attenuated time. For cyberbullying, significant increases observed since 2018 all groups except This a large cross-national dataset suggests decline traditional forms violence. However, warrant further monitoring.

A total sample 97 educators from school was sampled, which 91% were female. Findings indicate that while physical rare setting, verbal, relational, cyberbullying are reported by Physical appearance, either body or clothing, most reason across all types bullying. Educators feeling moderately prepared to identify respond behaviors, gaps training awareness still exist. highlights need professional development, enhanced digital monitoring, proactive strategies fit learning environment.

A second goal was develop short that retains key behaviors but enhances usability. Results indicated five oblique factors model fit long best, consistent with original prior research. demonstrated better fit, strong internal consistency, did not require error correlations or modifications. shorter format improves questionnaire’s practicality while preserving its accuracy. underscores importance refining tools like capture dynamics highlights advantages concise for varying purposes.
