Bullying and cyberbullying are both major public health concerns that schools across America and globally face. The results of face-to-face bullying have short- and long-term negative outcomes for perpetrators, victims, and bystanders. Cyberbullying is also a growing phenomenon that is affecting the lives of many youth. This session will review current research on the prevalence, the etiology, and preventative approaches related to bullying and cyberbullying involvement. Research clearly shows that these two behaviors overlap and share similar risk and protective factors. A social-ecological framework will be used to illustrate these factors as they relate to youth's involvement in both forms of bullying. Prevention efforts that stem from research will be discussed.
