Systematic Review: Anonymous Reporting Systems for School-Based Violence Prevention

Anonymous Reporting Systems (ARS) have been widely implemented in schools across the United States as a violence prevention strategy.

In this video, Dr. Libby Messman describes a systematic review of published literature from the last 25 years on the use of Anonymous Reporting Systems (ARS) in schools of all levels (K-12, colleges, public, private, etc.) throughout the United States.

This systematic review looked specifically at how ARS played a role in violence prevention and safety initiatives. Results found that there is a significant need for more research in the form of empirical studies as well as more consistent implementation of infrastructure, training, and programming. Dr. Messman is a Research Investigator at the University of Michigan School of Public Health.
