School counselor use of peer nominations to identify victims of bullying

This study examined the use of peer nominations to identify victims of bullying in a sample of 7,889 students (grades 3–12). The overwhelming majority reported positive responses to the survey process, which used a randomized design for online or paper administration. School counselors interviewed students who had three or more nominations and saw confirmed victims for follow-up. Although further study is needed, these results support school counselor use of peer nominations to identify victims of bullying.
