Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Primary outcome of the study is the reduction of depressive symptoms in the treatment group compared to the control condition as measured by the IDS-SR-score after the 6 week Intervention.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Secondary outcomes are changes in depressive sympotms over the course of the intervention (PHQ-9, IDS, CGI), the acceptance and feasibility (ZUF-8) of the "ifightDepressoin" tool and other training effects such as changes in perceived quality of life (SF-12). We also plan to look at possible adverse effects (INEP) and moderating variables e.g. gender. Measurement: before the beginning of the intervention (T0: IDS, PHQ-9, CGI, SF-12) weekly during the intervention (PHQ-9, rating of the workshops) 3 weeks after the beginning of the intervention (T1: IDS, CGI, documentation AE/SAE), at the end of intervention (T2: IDS, PHQ-9, CGI, ZUF-8, SF-12, documentation of AE/SAE), follow up 3, 6 and 12 Month after the end of the intervention (T3,4 and5: IDS, CGI, ZUF-8, SF-12, documentation of AE/SAE, PHQ-9)	—
