Study protocol for EthnoPRISE: an ethnographic study of peer sexual harassment in school.
Article in BMC psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDespite children and adolescents having the right to an education free from sexual harassment, peer sexual harassment remains a common part of everyday school life. While peer sexual harassment is known to have many adverse consequences for students, there is a lack of research investigating students’ own perspectives on the matter. Additionally, there is little exploration of the sequence of events leading up to incidents of such harassment, and of the reactions that follow by those involved. Therefore, the primary objective of the EthnoPRISE project is to understand peer sexual harassment based on how it is expressed in students’ everyday school lives across adolescence, and how it is perceived, interpreted, and experienced by the students themselves.
methodsThe EthnoPRISE project has a short-term ethnographic design and will include field observations, informal conversations, and focus group interviews. Three separate sub-studies will be conducted, each focusing on a different age group. Drawing from a developmental contextual perspective, data will be collected in Grade 5 (11–12 years), Grade 8 (14–15 years), and the second year of high school (17–18 years). One or two classes will be observed per age group, adding up to approximately 25 weeks of total observations across grades. In addition, at least 10 focus group interviews will be conducted per grade (totaling approximately 120 participants). We will use qualitative analyses, including reflexive thematic analysis and constructivist grounded theory, to analyze the data. DISCUSSION: The EthnoPRISE project has the potential to provide novel insights into students’ experiences of peer sexual harassment in school. The findings from the current project may contribute to a deeper understanding of the complexity surrounding peer sexual harassment in schools and to inform more effective and developmentally appropriate measures to prevent it. Further, the project will give students the opportunity to express their perspectives on peer sexual harassment including their opinions on what should be done to reduce the problem.
