One of the most pressing societal problems facing youth is identity-based harassment (e.g., based on race, sexual orientation). The Anti-Defamation League has been a national leader in combatting identity-based harassment and hate more broadly, with part of their mission focused on educating youth. The ADL New England branch established a partnership with Boston University researchers to evaluate an innovative school-based ADL program - The Peer Training Program (PTP) – which aims to reduce identity-based harassment through a peer leader model. The evaluation will end in Fall 2020, and the ADL would benefit from a sustainable evaluation framework for the PTP. As such, the primary goal of this project is to develop collaboratively a system through which the ADL can: (1) engage in ongoing program evaluation, and (2) provide partnering schools with reports generated from online student self-report surveys, which will provide information about their own students’ experiences with identity-based harassment. These activities are essential for any school-based program, but particularly for a bias-based prevention program like the PTP, which needs to be, by its nature, responsive to changing community demographics and shifts in groups targeted by bias-based harassment due to changes in the socio-political climate
